“A refreshing change, and a chance to ponder some great art in a great location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013

This really is a hidden gem. The old port of Jaffa in Tel Aviv exudes history and culture, so Ilana Goor's museum fits in perfectly. Nobody rushes you, and you can take time to absorb and admire such a wide collection of art and sculpture. The rooftop has been utilised to the maximum potential, and on a hot day, offers the benefit of a sea breeze. Nearby, Jaffa itself offers the visitor a varied assortment of good local food restaurants, with the emphasis on fish dishes, ideal for a lunch stop after your visit to Ilana Goor's Museum. Worth including on a day walkabout tour if you are in Tel Aviv. Enjoy!

“Hidden treasure.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

A fascinating artist, but the best part is the amazing house and views. Artist renovated this ancient house, and it is magnificent. Museum houses other artists, as well as the owner's. spectacular vistas from the roof gardens.

“Fun Artistic Wonderland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

The museum is a delightful blend of local architecture, the personal collection of the artist Ilana Goor along with her own artwork in what is both her home and a museum open to the public. A shop selling her works (which include everything from jewellery to furnishings) is downstairs and open for free if one just wants a taste of the place without the entry to the museum though it's worth the visit just for the atmosphere alone. Goor's art is reminiscent of Giacometti but there's more to it than that...
