Leo Contini: Measures
Closing: 12.12.2024
The exhibition reveals the complex and special world of the Italian-Israeli artist Leo Contini Lampronti. An engineer, an artist, a man of body and soul. "measures refer to both the physical measurements - calculations of height, distance and depth, as well as the spiritual measures and actions of the person.
Alongside the artist's impressive body of work, which was recently donated to the museum, additional items from the museum's collection, as well as items from Kibbutz Naan's "laboratory" collection, will be displayed.
Our thanks go to the friends of Beit Italia, Jaffa, for their support in preparing the exhibition.
Curator: Yael Sonino Levy

Niel Folberg: Light of the world
Opening: 24.12.2024
The exhibition presents photographs of synagogues taken by international photographer Neil Folberg. Thirty years ago, Folberg set out to photograph and document Jewish communities around the world. On his journey, he visited both well-known places and ones that were lesser known but equally important and interesting. Some of the Jewish communities he documented no longer exist; others are still active and vital. His photographs document the Jewish heritage of these communities and preserve their memory. They show the influence of local customs and culture on Jewish communal life as well as on the architectural and artistic choices in the design of these communities’ synagogues. Revealed in the photographs of these houses of prayer is not only the physical beauty of the structures but also the story of the resilience of the communities they served. Alongside integration into the fabric of the surrounding culture, they preserve a thousand-year-old heritage of shared history and common belief.
Curators: Reut Di- Veroli and Yasmin Harrari
