The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art (Hebrew: מוזיאון הרצליה לאמנות) is contemporary art museum with a collection of over 1000 artworks. It curates four exhibitions each year.




History


Established in 1965 in Herzeliya, Israel, the museum's main focus is Israeli and international contemporary art. The museum building was designed by Israel Prize laureate architect Yaakov Rechter.
The museum hosts painting, sculpture, video, installation, photography and architecture exhibitions, as well as video installations and digital media exhibitions.
It also has an educational program MUZA – A Place for Visual Experience. It holds different activities in the fields of video art and photography, including workshops and courses.
The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art is known for promotion of collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian artists by showing group exhibitions and organizing meetings and workshops for artists to work together. Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art also exhibits art from different continents, showing works of artists acclaimed in their countries, yet not known well to the Western World.
