The Museum's Education Department meets this challenge by interpreting exhibitions, strengthening aesthetic sensibilities and helping to understand different artistic concepts and cultures, making it possible for visitors of every age to maximize their Museum experience.

For special group rates and guides PERPETUAL MOVEMENT WITH ALEXANDER CALDER (ACTIVITIES FOLLOWING CALDER) FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Location Haft Hall, lower level Curator Sara Raiman Shor Exhibition and activities based on the works of American artist Alexander Calder (1898-1976). Humor, playfulness and movement are expressed in the works, which verge between painting and sculpture, between line and mass, between bi- and tri-dimensionality, between the figurative and the abstract. The mobiles moving in the wind, the stabiles that create an illusion of movement, and the circus games Calder made, all become an inspiration for activities: building mobiles and stabiles, making figures with lines and filament, activating the body in imitation of the sculptures’ balance, games according to the artist’s circus figures. For children this is a fascinating activity; for the parents – quality time with their children.
