The Eretz Israel Museum (MUZA) is launching a new exhibition titled "MUZA on the Line" (מוז״א על הקו) on October 29, 2026, at the Allenby station on Tel Aviv's red line. This project marks the first time the museum is displaying works outside its traditional galleries, bringing contemporary Israeli art and design directly into the public transit space.
The exhibition will feature works from three Tel Aviv Biennales of Art and Design held in 2020, 2023, and 2026. Visitors will encounter original pieces crafted from diverse materials including ceramics, glass, mosaic, stone, textiles, and metal, showcasing a blend of traditional craft techniques and modern artistic exploration. The artists and designers involved experiment with textures, digital tools, and innovative material processing, reflecting a dialogue between heritage and contemporary expression.
This initiative aims to integrate art into daily urban life, allowing commuters to encounter art without a dedicated museum visit. The Allenby station was chosen for its location in central Tel Aviv. The project is a collaboration with Tevel Metro, the operator of the red line.
Amiram Ohayon, General Director of Tevel Metro, stated that transit stations have the potential to serve as platforms for significant exhibitions, exposing thousands of passengers to Israeli art. Gil Omer, General Director of MUZA, expressed hope that the unconventional venue will attract new audiences and make art a part of everyday city routines. Over twenty artists and designers are participating, with Orit Lotringer and Henrietta Eliezer-Bruner serving as curators.
