Smaller Museums in Tel Aviv
Bauhaus Tel Aviv Museum by Frits de Wits
Bauhaus Museum
The Bauhaus Museum is a new boutique gallery/museum on Bialik Street, showcasing the history and development Bauhaus design in the heart of Tel Aviv’s UNESCO recognised White City. It is only open two days a week: Wednesday (11 am – 5 pm) and Friday (10 am – 2 pm) – see our architecture pages for more.
Reuven Rubin Museum (and the Bialik Museum)
Also on Bialik Street is the Reuven Rubin Museum, the old house of one of Israel’s most influential artists. Telling the life of Rubin, it showcases not only his works, but also those of other artists in themed exhibitions.
Almost next door the Rubin Museum is the Bialik Museum, home of the first great modern Hebrew poet, Haim Nachman Bialik. Whilst it is a bit difficult to understand the poems unless you speak Hebrew or Yiddish, some information is in English, and the atmosphere and furnishings give a good insight into life in Tel Aviv during the 1920′s for the cultured European Immigrants.
Museum of the History of Tel Aviv-Yafo

Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art
For contemporary art, check out some of the smaller galleries listed below, or travel just north to Herzliya where you will find the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art.
Azrieli Observatory
The Azrieli Observatory, on the top floor of the Azrieli Circular Tower, Tel Aviv’s tallest building, is the highest observatory in the Middle East. From here fantastic views across Tel Aviv and the coastline almost 50km to the north and south can be seen. There is also lounge bar at the observatory (for which you dont have to pay the entry fee.)
Others
A number of small, contemporary art galleries such as the The Heder Contemporary Art Gallery, Raw Art Gallery, Dvir Gallery, noga Gallery, and, reckoned to be the best in Israel by the New York Times, Sommer Contemporary Art. The Ilana Goor Museum in Jaffa, is the house of an artist which is open as a gallery – pretty cool!
