About Museum on the Seam
Museum on the Seam is a socio-political contemporary art museum situated in Jerusalem, at the geographic seam line between the East and West of the city. Positioned at the meeting point of three major religions, the museum acts as a platform for meaningful public discussions and bridges societal gaps by presenting art as a universal language without boundaries. Each exhibition addresses various social issues, fostering dialogue on topics such as environment and sustainability, capitalism's consequences, public conscience, technology-induced solitude, gender violence, and the relationships between humans and animals.
Housed in a neoclassical building constructed in 1932, the museum's history is intertwined with Jerusalem's division, having served as an Israeli army outpost and the Mandelbaum Gate during that time. In 1983, it was transformed into a museum showcasing Jerusalem's divided past. Under the guidance of Raphie Etgar, the museum evolved into a hub dedicated to dialogue, understanding, and coexistence.
In 2005, it became Israel's first socio-political museum promoting equality, human rights, and diversity. Offering breathtaking views from its rooftop, the Museum on the Seam also features a coffee shop, art books, and an authentic Jerusalemite atmosphere. It is conveniently located just a five-minute walk away from the Haredi neighborhood of Mea Shearim and the Old City.
