Rubin Museum, Artist house museum in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The Rubin Museum occupies the house at 14 Bialik Street in Tel Aviv where painter Reuven Rubin lived from 1946 until his death in 1974. The building, constructed in 1930 and designed by architect Pinchas Bieżoński, holds his paintings, a reading room and library, biographical documents, and his reconstructed studio, where a documentary about him is screened. Rotating exhibitions show his work and that of other artists, and a basement workshop serves children and youth.
The building was constructed in 1930 for the Toeplitz family and became home to painter Reuven Rubin, who was born in Romania, starting in 1946. It was converted into a museum in 1983 to preserve his artistic legacy.
The museum keeps Rubin's own studio as he left it, with a documentary about him screened there, and displays biographical documents and personal items from his life. A reading room and library serve visitors, while the basement runs activity workshops for children and teenagers.
The museum is open Sunday to Thursday from 10:00 to 17:00 and on Fridays from 10:00 to 14:00; it is closed on Saturdays. The building was closed for renovation between 2001 and 2003. Guided tours are available on request, and a basement workshop hosts activities for children and youth.
The preserved studio space on the third floor shows the actual surroundings where Rubin created his work. Photographs document both the workspace and Tel Aviv's artistic development throughout the 20th century.
