黑料不打烊

This journey into the year the Museum was born offers an intriguing and often surprising perspective on the Israeli experience, then and now. You are invited to wander among such local period signposts as the legendary ethnic garment store Maskit, the inauguration of Kolbo Shalom 鈥� the first skyscraper, Ya鈥檃cov Agam鈥檚 optical art, and Levy Eshkol鈥檚 victory in the national elections. In celebration of the Museum鈥檚 50th anniversary we return to 1965 and take a look at the country as it was then 鈥� more innocent, with a different aesthetics and groundbreaking creative forces. Serving as an introduction to the exhibition is an installation made of dozens of ordinary objects that represent Israel鈥檚 material culture in 1965 and tell its story from original points of view. The exhibition puts the spotlight on Israel鈥檚 emerging art scene in the mid-1960s, presenting over 60 artworks created by leading Israeli artists at the time, such as Mordecai Ardon and Yosef Zaritsky, and by artists who were then at the very start of their career, such as Yair Garbuz and Micha Ullman. Geva and Carmel newsreels are screened alongside personal home movies, the latter adding a personal and authentic voice to the 鈥渙fficial soundtrack鈥� of those years.
