NAHUM GUTMAN MUSEUM
August 19nd, 2022 – Tel Aviv and Central Region
Art curator and museologist Natalie Kopelyanski started our tour by talking about Nachum Gutman's childhood and his life in Neve Tzedek and Tel Aviv. We discussed his significance as the main artist of "nostalgic" Tel Aviv and what decides your fate as an artist- just talent or other important factors. We then walked around the temporary exhibition dedicated to the poet Paul Tzalan. We discussed video art in Israel and its high rating on the global creative scene lately. Natalie also told us how museums dedicated to one person are built and how temporary exhibitions are assembled in modern museology. After the tour, we went to Susan Dalal Square and discussed what we learned about museums during the summer semester and how our views on Israeli museum life have changed after these 6 meetings.
It was my first time at the Nachum Gutman Museum and I didn't know anything about him. It's amazing how his life is intertwined with the history of Israel. I really like Argaman's approach of presenting different topics in depth - thank you for this summer!

ARGAMAN – STUDY TOUR OF BIBLE LANDS MUSEUM
August 5th, 2022 – Tel Aviv and Central Region
Our guide Michael Freikman, an Israeli Archeologist and author, began by sharing his experience as an archaeologist in Israel. He told us the history of the Bible Lands Museum and explained the significance of many of the museums collections. Michael touched upon such important issues as biblical archeology and its impact on the modern world, the importance of the existence of King David, and the archeological relevance of biblical texts. He also showed us by examples how to look into the details of ancient drawings and what mysteries still face modern archaeologists and historians. We ended our tour with a discussion of where the influences of ancient history and philosophy meet our lives.
I realized that walking around the museum with an archaeologist is not at all like a guided tour. I am very interested now to open our ancient texts, and learn more about what points in Jewish history have already been confirmed through archeology.
