Museum on the Seam

Museum on the Seam is a socio-political contemporary art museum in Jerusalem, Israel. Its focus is to allow art to raise discussions about controversial ideas tied to national, ethnic, and economic issues. The museum has held multiple exhibitions relating to themes of human rights, slavery, and the right to protest. The museum also has an incredible view of the city in addition to a charming rooftop cafe. This remarkable site is certainly one of many museums in Jerusalem worth visiting.
