Museum on the Seam, socio-political contemporary art museum on the East–West Jerusalem seam, Israel

Museum on the Seam is a socio-political contemporary art museum housed in a neo-classical building designed by Palestinian Arab architect Andoni Baramki in 1932 as a family residence. The building sits on the seam between West and East Jerusalem, and its finely wrought window arches were filled with concrete to form turrets during its use as a military outpost. Shell and bullet marks from the 1967 War remain visible on its walls.

The building began as a residential home and was converted to a military outpost during the 1948 conflict. It reopened as a museum in 1999 and uses its physical marks to record what happened here.

The museum displays works by artists addressing human rights, social justice, and political questions through their work. The exhibitions use various art forms to reflect on how societies handle conflict and change.

The museum sits on Chel Handasa Street near the historical boundary between the two neighborhoods. Opening hours vary throughout the week, so it helps to check ahead before visiting.

The building still bears bullet marks and structural damage from 1967 on its walls. These visible scars are left unrepaired, serving as silent witnesses to the building's past.
