History

The museum is part of Petah Tikva's Museum Complex. Most of the art at the museum (roughly 3188 items) is art in memory and perpetuation of others, and were collected by Yad Labanim. The building originally opened in 1952, and was the first of its kind in Israel, and the museum itself opened in 1964. Between 1987 and 1993, the museum's director was Dalia Levin. In 2004, the building was reopened after renovation of the building and cataloging the collection of artwork. At the time, Drorit Gur Arye had become the director of the museum. The museum is divided into a changing exhibition hall, and a smaller gallery, which presents an exhibition of the museum's collections.

gollark: The Internet is kind of terrible because of historical inertia (we're still on IPv4 everywhere for some reason? NAT everywhere, overzealous middleboxes, etc are very wasteful), but it generally works.
