Jerusalem, Israel - Sept. 18, 2024 - The Tower of David Jerusalem Museum, located next to Jaffa Gate, in the ancient citadel of Jerusalem’s Old City, tells the multifaceted story of Jerusalem through a fusion of ancient artifacts and interactive and immersive technology.
Following a decade of planning and a four-year and 50 million dollar renewal and conservation project, the new and groundbreaking permanent exhibition, is shown in the ancient guard rooms.
Today a new impressive exhibit opened. The exhibition is titled “On the Other Side,” and comprises iron sculpture and a video installation created by Israeli and international artist Zadok Ben-David.
The exhibition is spread throughout the Tower of David complex with site-specific works, created especially for the Tower of David. Plus, works exhibited abroad are being shown in Israel for the first time.
The delicate metalwork and technology are impressive along with the fact that some works were done before October 7, 2023, and are almost prophetic in their use of the cycle of life.
The photo essay includes some of the art and views of the Tower of David and the surrounding area.
