The result of a joint initiative with the Rishon Municipality, this new museum has fascinated and inspired individuals from all walks of life. Agam might be 94, but his age represents only a number as his vibrant, ageless, and overflowing curiosity certainly knows no limits.

Interactive Journey

Designed by world-renowned architect David Nofar and surrounded by a Sculpture Garden, the museum’s 3,200-square-meter exhibition space and complex architecture invite the visitor on an interactive journey in which all senses, sounds, and visions intertwine. Explore art beyond the visible and uncover the reality as a constant being that changes as you explore. Agam explains this journey as the 4th dimension - the dimension of time and movement, change, and the unexpected. The museum explores six decades of Agam’s groundbreaking artistic research through a mix of temporary exhibitions and permanent displays that feature some of his most important artworks, theories and explanations, and kabbalistic influences.

Sensory Experience

Gracing the entrance of the building, the lobby, and the central hall are Agam’s “Pillars of Clila,” named after his late wife and courtesy of the Kadar Family and Naomi Foundation. Featuring 29 intricately designed columns, they combe the partition between inside and outside, releasing a visual symphony with each step a new motif. The museum includes a multi-stage media hall for exhibits and performances and private or group tours. In addition, the museum campus is fully accessible for visitors with disabilities. This interactive art journey is an awakening for your senses and a must-visit for anybody visiting Israel.
