29 Museum on the Seam
Architect: Andoni Baramki, 1934
Visits at this museum, which is located in an old stately house that was designed by the architect, Andoni Baramki, for his family. It started out as a typical Jerusalem residence built for the city’s Arab upper class at the beginning of the 20thcentury. It features a portico in the entranceway, a hexagonal tower in its northern section, and meticulously crafted stone work. From 1948 to 1967, it served as an Israeli army outpost on the then border with Jordan (known as the Turjeman Post), and still bears some scars from that period: makeshift gun loops in the arched windows that were sealed off with concrete, as well as bullet holes.
The tours will recount the history of the building and its different transformations, until eventually becoming the social and political museum for contemporary art that currently operates there.
Please note that the museum is only partially accessible.
