In honor of the 78th Independence Day of the State of Israel, the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem will transform into a living work of art.

In a unique collaboration with artist Meirav Shaham, a video mapping installation will be projected onto the building, using its architecture as a canvas to reflect the institution’s core values.

The installation reflects the wide-ranging and multifaceted work taking place within the Museum throughout the year, including its commitment to strengthening Israel’s diverse society. As a hub for culture, dialogue, and unity, the Museum works toward a future rooted in tolerance, mutual responsibility, and respect for every individual. These values form the foundation of both the institution and our shared society.

Meirav Shaham, a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, is a multidisciplinary creator and designer. Her work includes title sequences for leading television series such as Fauda, Valley of Tears, and The Commander, alongside major artistic projects, including a projection in the Beit Guvrin caves in collaboration with the Idan Raichel Project, as well as partnerships with international organizations, including Netflix and HBO.

The installation will be displayed starting on Independence Day eve at 21:00 and will continue through early Thursday morning at 03:00.
