In 2010 the Israel Museum completed the most comprehensive renewal of its buildings and campus since it first opened in 1965. This festive volume celebrates this milestone, capturing the way in which old and new architectural elements and reconfigured gallery displays come together as a visually powerful whole. Former Director James Snyder, who was intimately involved in every aspect of the project, describes the renewal process and discusses the Israel Museum’s architectural philosophy from its inception until the present day. An up-to-date album of images, exterior and interior, conveys the beauty of the renewed campus and offers highlights of the Museum’s permanent collection display and changing exhibition installations.
