A youthful, modern metropolis with a diverse population, Tel Aviv dates back only to 1909. Clubs, bars, a thriving arts community, gay life and beaches attract artists, musicians and young professionals to Tel Aviv's more secular scene. Its UNESCO-designated Bauhaus architecture has won the city the moniker "The White City." Walk, drive or catch cabs between the cultural exhibition pavilions of Haaretz Museum, historic Independence Hall Museum, bustling Carmel Market and Old Jaffa's boardwalk.

Frank Meisler is a unique artist. As a child, little Frank was smuggled ti Britain with some other children whilst their parents and families were brutally murdered in Europe. Frank was raised in England as a Jewish child, refugee... His art is very unique and though some subjects point to joy and happiness, you cab=n see and feel the sarcasm and pain in every and any sculpture of his. Most of his work is connected to Jewish characters, famous people etc...but there is always a hidden hint behind. A n amazing artist and art work . A must have in any and every house and home respecting and appreciating good art.

The Ilana Goor Museum, distinct in its dual purpose as both the gallery and private home of the artist, is a uniquely hidden gem in the old city of Jaffa. Housed in a historically rooted eighteenth-century structure, the museum allows visitors to see and feel the eclectic collection of famous Israeli sculptor Ilana Goor with Old Jaffa as a background storyline and setting. Within the walls of the beautifully-renovated structure lay over 500 artworks, both by Goor herself and by guest Israeli and international artists included in the museum collection. For the first time in Israel, you have the opportunity to admire works of art from the point of view of the artist/collector rather than as exhibits in a sterile academic environment. Despite the Museum's eclectic nature, each room features creations from different places and times. Each work of art has a different background and a story all its own. The Museum's uniqueness lies in the unexpected contexts generated by each artist, both on the human and on the visual level.
This was my favorite thing to see in Tel Aviv/Jaffa. One woman's wonderful, eclectic collection, including her own work. The building is amazing as well - and old collection of spaces tied together to make a large home right in the old city's walls. You really feel that you are a visitor in her fantastic house and that she would be the most amazing friend to have. Can't recommend this enough. Take some time to sit on the roof terraces and to poke through every inch of the this place. There is a shop that sells some of her work (with understandably high prices). This is such a one-of-a-kind place. Don't miss it.
