Old Yishuv Court Museum
Visit (10:00-17:00)
The Isaak Kaplan Old Yishuv Court Museum, documenting a
world no longer existing: the old Jewish settlement which
lived inside the old city walls for 500 years, before the city
was occupied by the Jordanians. From the many items, the
story of its past owners comes to life: stories of marriage and
birth, happy and sad times, everyday coping with life's
difficulties, being satisfied with little and believing in the
almighty. A new exhibition: drop of milk

Body Gestures and campo 82133 N - Shay Frisch Peri (10:00-
14:00)
Free-entry.
Body gestures constitute a highly expressive means of
communication, which includes a wide range of both
conspicuous and inconspicuous movements. This language
functions as a parallel or alternative to the use of words; at
times it completes and underscores a verbal message, while in
other instances it endows it with a different, contradictory, or
surprising meaning, or replaces words altogether. The works
featured in the exhibition Body Gestures examine the logic,
meaning, and impact of this body language in a range of
different ways.
Participating artists: William Cobbing, Pierre Coulibeuf,
Thomas Hirschhorn, Lea Golda Holterman, Nadav Kander, Tali
Keren, Galia Uri, Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook, Hadas Reshef,
Shachaf Yaron.
The Museum's main gallery features Shay Frisch Peri's
installation Campo 82133 N, which includes two wall works
and a floor work. These works are composed of 82,133 black
electric adaptors, which are plaited together into basic
geometric shapes - a rectangle, square and circle. These three
electric circuits emit a pale light, and their embroidered
surfaces have an austere and meticulous quality.
