Artists' House

Because Jon is still on vacation, we took advantage of Rina's early dismissal to visit a nearby museum this evening. The building is called the Artists' House, and is what used to be the Bezalel Arts Academy, which has since moved to the Hebrew University campus. There were three exhibits - one that combined standard artistic materials like acryllic and wood with craft materials like yarn, another that was a collection of Romanian iconography painted on glass and wood, and a third that was a mix of bright paintings in different styles although all by the same painter. Each exhibit brought something entirely different to the experience, whether it was weird melty globs, religious imagery, or clear lines and colours, making the experience varied and interesting. At the end of it all, though, we're glad the admission was free.
