Center for Human Dignity

The Center for Human Dignity is a museum building in Jerusalem that provides multiple spaces for theater, exhibitions, and events. The building features several auditoriums and performance halls surrounded by exhibition areas to offer visitors different types of programs.

The project arose from an idea to promote understanding and tolerance in society. Realization took place over many years and involved multiple architecture firms in its design before completion in 2019.

The center teaches respect and coexistence through sports programs and educational activities that appeal to visitors of different ages. The exhibitions address questions about living together in Israeli society in ways that invite people to explore their own beliefs.

The building is centrally located in Jerusalem and is easy to reach on foot or by public transportation. Visitors should allow time for their visit since the grounds are large and multiple performances may happen at the same time.

The site has a complex history because it was built on land that was previously known as a medieval cemetery. This historical layering has sparked discussions about how to respectfully handle the location.
