Situated just steps from the Independence Hall, the site where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1948 upon the creation of the State of Israel, The Democracy Pavilion – a dramatic geodesic dome shines brightly aiming to spark public discourse and conversation about democracy in Israel and on a global scale. In a world where democratic values are challenged regularly, it is an important subject that affects human rights worldwide.
Launched by Israel Democracy Institute and supported by Tel Aviv Municipality, the Democracy Pavillion is an exciting and rich multimedia experience which brings awareness to the core values of equality, freedom, and diversity which are reflected in Israel’s democracy.
