Architecture AwarenessTel Aviv Museum of Art
Wednesday, May 4, 2016
The new wing of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, designed by architect Preston Scott Cohen as an addition to the museum’s Main Building, is the latest development in a process that started in the 1930s, when the city’s first mayor, Meir Dizengoff, created a municipal art museum in his own house. It evolved through the creation of the Helena Rubinstein Gallery in 1959, the austere main building designed by architects Dan Eitan and Itzhak Yashar in 1971, and the Herta & Paul Amir Building, inaugurated in 2011.
