In 2012 we sent 65 patrons of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem on an art immersion experience in South Africa.
The Israel Museum is the largest cultural institution in the State of Israel and is ranked among the world’s leading art and archaeology museums. Founded in 1965, the Museum houses encyclopedic collections, including works dating from prehistory to the present day, in its Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Jewish Art and Life Wings, and features the most extensive holdings of biblical and Holy Land archaeology in the world.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TRIP INCLUDED:
A visit at the Constitutional Court & Collection
A guided tour of the Apartheid Museum, followed by a tour of Soweto.
Soweto is the biggest and most vibrant township in Africa, which is increasingly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in South Africa. Soweto is a cultural melting pot and an absolute must-see for any visiting tourist and South Africans alike.
