Tel Aviv Museum

The Tel Aviv Museum is Israel's main art museum. Shortly after opening its doors to the public in 1932, it became an important part of Tel Aviv's culture, presenting local and foreign artists and serving as a platform for free-thinking cultural and artistic exchanges. The Tel Aviv Museum hosts more than half a million visitors annually and offers a dynamic program of changing and permanent exhibitions in addition to exciting cultural programs of classical and jazz music, performance arts, lecture series, special events, children's programs, dance, and cinema. The museum includes an outdoor sculpture garden and a youth wing.

The Tel Aviv Museum houses a comprehensive collection of classical and contemporary art, especially Israeli art. Its collection of Modern and Contemporary Art, which was founded back in the 1930s, focuses on the major trends of Modernism, from Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, through the main avant-garde streams of the early 20th century, the School of Paris, and the New York School, up to the art of the 1960s. This part of the collection is complemented by the continuously growing Contemporary Art collection.

The Museum's permanent collection presents several masterpieces, including the painting Friedericke Maria Beer by Gustav Klimt from 1916 and Untitled Improvisation V from 1914, by the Wassily Kandinsky.
