from a home to a museum

Constructed in 1930, the artist-house-museum on 14 Bialik Street opened to the public in 1983, following Reuven Rubin's will and the agreement reached with Tel Aviv's Mayor, Shlomo Lahat, in 1974. A choice selection from the Museum's permanent collection is regularly on display, replaced periodically by guest exhibitions focusing on Israeli art.
