Guided tour in Russian of the exhibition Year Zero →

On the eve of World War II, Dr. Karl Schwarz, the first director of the museum, embarked on a final, desperate trip to Europe. His mission was to rescue a specific work of art he had encountered in his youth in Berlin. After tracing the artwork to Amsterdam, he successfully persuaded its owner to send it to Tel Aviv. This painting, alongside thousands of other pieces saved by Schwarz between 1933 and 1945, formed the nucleus of the museum's Modern Art Collection.

The exhibition marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II by recounting these remarkable rescue stories. It features significant works by renowned artists, including Alexander Archipenko, Marc Chagall, and Käthe Kollwitz, highlighting the historical and cultural importance of these salvaged treasures.

This tour is conducted in Russian and is led by a museum guide. The number of participants is limited, and advance reservations are required for all attendees. Participation in the tour includes the entrance ticket to the museum.
