Art in Israel
I have been in August to a family trip/visit to Israel. Had some wonderful time with everyone, and of course, did some touring around!
So, I wanted to share with you some pictures of artwork I have stumbled upon… well, I was looking for it! Most of it is of ancient art, but I have been to couple of great museums - The Israel Museum in Jerusalem (that was just reopened after major renovation), and the Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take pictures of ALL the art I have seen…
Enjoy!

Is this art?
and this? art?
What about now? art or not?
OK, this must make it art, right?
Oy yoy yoy, did I make any art?
Cheers
