The history of the Tel Aviv Museum has been shaped by several major turning points, which took place at five specific moments in time. These five moments may appear to constitute arbitrary points in time, which were determined by the interplay of different forces and the availability of the resources necessary to promote the museum and to construct each of the buildings. Yet seen from a historical perspective, which takes into consideration the intervals between these points and the processes that took place in these intervals, these moments may be taken to reflect the reciprocal relations between the museum institution and its buildings in relation to the evolution of both local and international architectural and cultural discourses.
For the fifth time in the history of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the last wish of its founder, the city's first mayor, is endowed with new meaning. This exhibition celebrates this fifth moment, yet presents, in its own unique way, the history of the entire city through
the prism of its museum buildings. And as history has already taught us, the inauguration of this new building and of this exhibition also marks the countdown towards the next, sixth moment.
