According to Tania Coen Uzzielli, Director of the Tel-Aviv Museum of Art “It is exciting and meaningful to gain international recognition these days and to be placed among the world's leading museums. This achievement gains additional validity due to the fact that the museum was closed to the public for two whole months with the outbreak of war. I am grateful to the large crowd of visitors who chose to come to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and who continue to visit even in these difficult times. Thanks to them and the creative and valuable work of the museum team, We remain committed to showcasing the best of local and international art.”
