🔸City Lights: A special project for Hanukkah
In the spirit of Hanukkah, the light installation City Lights by Efrat Yaron suggests a contemplation of how a small light can serve as a bridge between people—a testament to collaboration and hope. A city is not just a cluster of buildings; it is an assembly of illuminated windows, each of which represents an entire world. The more buildings are added, the brighter the city shines.
In the center of the gallery are works created by visitors to the exhibition—dozens of small buildings, which accumulate into an entire city composed of a multitude of points of light. These appear in different places and in different forms, becoming a kind of map of human presence. Who lives there? Who’s awake? Who has turned on the light?

Tips for visiting with children
- Before the visit, it is best to explain to the children what a museum is, and the appropriate behavior etiquette.
- We recommend that all unnecessary bags and items be checked in at the cloakroom for safekeeping during your visit.
- Please do not touch the artworks (except where this is explicitly permitted).
- Avoid running in galleries
- It is permitted and indeed recommended to enter the galleries with pencils and paper, and to let the children draw. However, no paints or any other painting-related items are allowed.
- Food and drink are not allowed in the galleries.
- Baby changing stations are available on Level -1 of the Main Building, and on Level 0 of the Amir Building.
