Israel’s creative spaces contain every kind of art and design imaginable, from the ancient development of writing itself, to worldwide treasures of art and literature, to contemporary cutting-edge installations. Eli is a designer, a curator and a member of the (very serious!) International Council of Museums, Israel, and he will illuminate the ideas behind these masterpieces of culture. On a fully bespoke tour, through discussion of architecture, design and art, you will see old institutions in a new light and new locations that you didn’t know existed.

Signature Tour
The Israel Museum and The National Library
These two institutions, steps apart from each other, allow for an inspiring and completely unique tour, looking at the buildings themselves as well as the rare items they contain. The Israel Museum displays world class exhibits from a range of departments that is nearly unsurpassed globally, in modernist 1965-era gallery buildings. The brand new National Library is already a destination for architecture devotees, in addition to housing immense art installations and literary jewels.
