Art and Cultural Activities in Israel
It makes sense for a person to want to visit Israel after taking a few Hebrew language courses. There can hardly be a better way for people who learn Hebrew for immersion to practice their newly acquired language skills than spending some time in Israel.
Israel offers many terrific activities for travelers interested in culture, arts, and history.
Here’s a look at some of them:
1. Tel Aviv Museum of Art
The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is instantly recognizable due to its unique, origami-inspired building. In a land full of history and ancient architecture, the modern design of the museum stands out impressively.
The museum offers a broad selection of art for fans of every period—the works displayed in the museum span from the 16th to the 20th centuries.
First-time visitors in Tel Aviv should set aside a few hours and explore the museum at leisure.
2. Zappa Club
Also located in Tel Aviv, the Zappa Club is a well-known local hotspot and home to incredible live music and performances. The club has a reputation for filling up quickly, so it’s smart to buy tickets in advance.
The club’s bartenders also whip up fancy cocktails that are worth raving about. An evening with music and drinks at the Zappa Club is a fun way to sample Tel Aviv’s nightlife.

3. The Design Museum
For people interested in all things design-related, the Design Museum in the city of Holon is a must-visit destination. Now 11 years old, it’s the first design museum in Israel.
The exterior of the museum is a fascinating ode to design, with its elaborate steel ribbons creating an unforgettable first impression before one even enters the building. The Design Museum regularly hosts exhibitions on industrial and fashion design.
4. The Baha’i Gardens
A significant site for followers of the Baha’i faith, the Baha’i Gardens in Haifa can also be visited by people of other religions. The gardens are impeccably maintained and are beautifully symmetrical.
The Baha’i Gardens can only be accessed through guided tours, which are offered several times a day in different languages.
