The New Israel Museum That We Can’t Wait To Show You! Built By Israeli Architect, Ron Arad

Exciting news for travelers scheduled to embark on their tours to Israel in March! The stunning Design Museum of Holon, the very first museum for contemporary design in Israel, will open its first exhibit to the public in March of 2010. The exhibit, “The State of Things” will feature over 100 objects representing issues of contemporary international design.

Designed by Ron Arad, the Design Museum of Holon will include exhibits of contemporary design ranging from two-dimensional works of art to complete cars.

Arad is known as one of the top five designers in the world, and you only have to see the museum’s exterior to understand why.

The building itself is a stunning work of contemporary design, featuring magnificent details that include 350 tons of steel bands designed to emulate the movement of ribbons. It is no wonder that the museum is already garnering international buzz, but it may come as a surprise that it is designer Ron Arad’s very first commercial development!

Born in Tel Aviv, Arad graduated from the Jerusalem Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in 1973. His worldwide design portfolio features an impressive collection of furniture, products and structures.
