Join us for a fascinating lecture given by Sophia Berry Lifschitz, curator at the Department of Modern Art at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The talk will begin with a short introduction to the history of the Museum with its unique connection to the establishment of the State of Israel.
Jessica Steinberg covers the Sabra scene from south to north and back to the center.

As Israel commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art is about to complete the restitution of two 17th century Flemish tapestries looted by the Nazis during World War II.
The tapestries, along with a 19th-century oil painting already restituted, are the first instances of Holocaust-looted art found at the Tel Aviv museum. All three artworks belong to the Mosse family of Berlin, which had been the holder of a significant art collection.
