Exhibitions
We invite you to a journey of observation, learning, and inspiration through two powerful exhibitions
‘06:29 – From Darkness to Light’ is a profoundly moving production by the Museum of Tolerance, unveiling the unfathomable depths of evil that occurred on October 7th, alongside the extraordinary mutual support demonstrated by citizens of Israel and Jews in the diaspora since.
‘Documenting Israel: 75 Years of Vision’
The tour combines the renowned 'Magnum Photos' exhibition documenting Israeli society from before the establishment of the state to the modern era.
Love in the Shadow of War: The Power of Love – Photographic Testimony
The photography exhibition “Love in the Shadow of War”, created for Tu B’Av, presents eight portraits of couples whose love stories blossomed amid the Swords of Iron War. Within a reality of fear, loss, and uncertainty, these couples found rare moments of closeness, connection, and love.
The exhibition is both a direct continuation of the Museum's permanent exhibition, “06:29 – From Darkness to Light” which shares the testimonies of 35 courageous women who survived the horrors of October 7th and also reflects the beginning of love and renewal.

The Vision
What we do
An "international embassy" for peace, the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem strengthens Israel's reputation across the world, while building bridges between diverse cultures and religions.
Under our "open tent," individuals from all walks of life will gather and enact change based on shared universal values. Together, they will challenge racism, antisemitism, discrimination, stereotypes, hatred, and acts of verbal and physical violence – and create a better tomorrow.
The Building
The Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem is a place where individuals from across the world gather, converse openly, and feel at home.
With its four open walls that fill the space with light, visitors immediately feel welcomed and at ease. The museum is in the shape of a dove, representing its pursuit of peace and hope for a better future. The building's focal point is the monumental crisscrossed staircase, emphasizing that true tolerance and understanding come from engagement, listening to one another, and immersing ourselves in others' perspectives.
