About
The Ilana Goor Museum sits in Old Jaffa, the historic port area of Tel Aviv-Yafo, at 3 Mazal Dagim Street. It is housed in an 18th-century building, and the setting is part of the visit: the rooms and stone spaces give the displays a character that a modern gallery would not.
What you will see
The museum shows contemporary art, design objects and sculpture. Much of the collection is by the Israeli artist Ilana Goor, whose work runs across these forms, and it is shown alongside works by international contemporary artists. The mix makes for a varied visit, and the pieces often reward a slow walk through each room.
Planning your visit
- Location: Old Jaffa, a short distance from the rest of Tel Aviv-Yafo, so it pairs well with a walk around the old port.
- Who it suits: visitors interested in contemporary art, design and sculpture, and anyone who enjoys seeing art inside an older building.
- Contact: +972-3-683-7676.
- Also listed as: the Ilana Gur Museum.
Around the museum
Old Jaffa is a good area for an unhurried half-day. Its streets, the harbour and the views over the Mediterranean are close by, and the museum fits easily into a route that also takes in the port and the city's other neighbourhoods. Check opening times and admission before you travel, as these are not covered here.
