Museum on the Seam

The Museum on the Seam is a contemporary art museum in Jerusalem housed in a scarred stone building that stood on the former dividing line between the eastern and western halves of the city. The structure, once a military outpost pockmarked by gunfire, gives the museum its name and theme. Its exhibitions use socio-political art to explore conflict, coexistence, identity, and human rights. A building marked by division paired with a programme dedicated to dialogue makes it a thought-provoking site.
