Take a “Behind the scenes tour” in English of the renewal, restoration and new accessibility projects at the Tower of David Museum.
Tour the site and join a discussion about the dilemmas that arise while working on a significant historical building, balancing preservation with the need for renewal of the museum and accessibility for all.
How do you adapt ancient spaces for a modern exhibit that includes a wealth of technology? What is required in order to provide access to a historical building, a fortress thousands of years old? And what discoveries were found during the course of the renewed archaeological excavation in the citadel?
The renewal and conservation project is generously supported by Dame Vivien Duffield and the Clore Israel Foundation, and with the support of the Patrick and Lina Drahi Foundation, the Jerusalem Municipality, the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage, the Ministry of Tourism, the American Friends of Museums in Israel, and Keren HaYesod.
