The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is Israel’s largest art museum,
with a large collection of permanent exhibits as well as temporary
exhibits. The Museum opened in 1932, before even the state of Israel was
established, and a new wing opened in 2011. The museum shows the works
of both Israeli and international artists including impressionism and
post-impressionism. Permanently on display include the works of Cezanne,
Chagall, Dali, Monet, Henri Moore, Auguste Rodin, Archipenko, Picasso,
Klimt, Kadinsky. If you want to go to just one traditional art museum
when in Israel, make it this one!The new Herta and Paul Amir Building at
the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, opened in November 2011, and is itself a
visual and architectural masterpiece. Designed by Preston Scott Cohen
the new building was described by the New York Times as “an elongated
Rubik’s Cube doused with bleach” and features a facade comprising of 465
flat, interlocking, precast concrete panels of different shapes and
sizes. Inside are five floors of art over 19,000sq meters in size, three
above ground and two below, linked by an 87-foot atrium, a lightwell
which floods the art and gallery spaces in light. Source
Park HaYarkon
Park HaYarkon, named for the Yarkon River and also known as Ganei
Yehoshua, is the largest municipal park in the city of Tel Aviv. The
grounds are extensive and include such attractions as botanical gardens,
sports complexes, lawns, an aviary, a zoo, a water park, two outdoor
concert venues, and many lakes. The park is sometimes nicknamed the
Green Lung and enjoys over 16 million visitors per year. Its grounds
span 3,500 dunams, is open year-round, and can be accessed 24-hours a
day.
The park itself acts as a semi-tropical micro-climate. It is home to all manner of wildlife, including fish, swans, parrots, jackals, chameleons, and many more. Over 3,500 plant species can be found within its borders and it offers some of the most spectacular views in the city.
Picnics are among the most common sights in the park, where ample space for sitting, barbequing, and enjoying sunny days with other park visitors are made easy. This is perhaps the most commonly shared weekend experience in Tel Aviv. Source
