The Israel Museum in Jerusalem completed the $100-million renewal of its 20-acre campus. The changes include newly improved three collection wings, reinstallation of encyclopedic collections as well as new galleries, orientation facilities and public spaces.

“Forty-five years after the Israel Museum first opened its beautiful hilltop campus, we have completed an expansion and renewal project that will allow us to serve our public as never before,” said James S. Snyder, Anne and Jerome Fisher Director of the Israel Museum, in the Art Daily. “The most ambitious undertaking in our history, this project has yielded a truly transformational change across our campus. We look forward to welcoming our visitors to the Museum’s stunning new public spaces and galleries, which will facilitate a richer and more enjoyable experience of our unparalleled collections and of our powerful Jerusalem hilltop setting.”

The newly renovated campus will open to the public on July 26. For more information, visit www.english.imjnet.org.il.
