Museum on the Seam, Socio-political contemporary art museum at the intersection of East and West Jerusalem, Israel.
The Museum on the Seam presents exhibitions exploring social issues through contemporary art in a neo-classical building from the 1930s.
The building transformed from a Palestinian family residence to an Israeli military outpost during the 1948 conflict and later became a museum in 1999.
The museum exhibits works by international artists addressing themes of human rights, social justice, and political discourse through various art forms.
Located at 4 Chel Handasa Street, the museum maintains bullet marks and structural damage from the 1967 war as historical documentation.
The museum stands at a geographical and cultural divide, using art to bridge communities while preserving evidence of past conflicts.
