The Bar-David Museum

The museum bears the name of its donors, Moshe and Tova Bar-David, of blessed memory, and is dedicated to the Jews of Brezezany, who perished in the Holocaust.

The Museum has three stories:

The upper level consists of a huge exhibition hall for art, sculpture and photography and a small archeology room for displays from the collection.

On the lower level, beneath the main entrance are the Youth Wing and workrooms. The Wing presents "The Jewish Nobel Hall of Fame", an interactive computer program in three languages devoted to all Jewish Nobel Prize laureates.

About the Colection

The Bar-David Collection includes art works of various techniques such as acrylic, aquarelle, sketching, engraving, lithography and different types of print. The Collection includes works of mainly Jewish artists, from the mid 19th century until today, from artists who have worked in Diaspora and have never lived in Israel, through artists who have immigrated to and settled in Israel, to Israeli-born artists who have worked, and still are, here.

The Collection is rich in works of well-known artists, as well as artists who are just as talented but less familiar. It includes experimental works, interesting sketches andexploratory works of artists searching for their creative path at the transition between the figurative and abstract movements. The Collection includes works which refer to the Zionist project and give expression to the enchanted Israeli landscape, as well as the humans within it.
