The building itself embodies much of this place's complex history and it presents thought-provoking exhibitions about our surrounding reality. What a great museum. It's small enough to be intimate and interesting. It has a definite artistic agenda that is unique and much needed, Don't skip reaching the rooftop. Great vantage point of Jerusalem. I recommend visiting the museum and also for those who want, you can help this association live and move forward.

Small and interesting art museum.
It has 2 rotating galleries, touching on the area of the seam. Tries to give voice to people from all the different parts of Israeli society.

Entry price was fair at 40₪.
The museum also has a gorgeous view on the hotel district and Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

What a great museum.  It's small enough to be intimate and interesting.  It has a definite artistic agenda that is unique and much needed, focusing on human and animal rights, ecology and other aspects of the modern life. The house has is own bleeding history that is very much present everywhere.  The cherry on top is a quiet coffee shop on the roof with beautiful views of the former border line and an extensive art library.

Pricey, like $12, for a few floors and a few rooms but a very historical building with a few pieces of very stimulating art. There's a great viewing area up the spiral staircase above the roof. I'm not sure how the cafe is on the roof, but I imagine it doesn't get too crowded.

This is a great modern art museum. Built on the seam of the city between the East and West, it is all about the seams between society. With ever changing exhibits they do a great job at highlighting the fractures in Israeli society. plus they have a great building with an incredible roof deck.

The Museum is located on the geographic seam between the three religions, and presents art as a language with no boundaries in order to raise social issues for public discussion, while emphasizing what connects us rather than what keeps us apart.
