A New Museum
In Old Jaffa

RUTH ROVNER

SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

At first glance, the room looks
like the ideal setting for a me-
dieval banquet. It's a room with
a vaulted ceiling, thick stone
floor and massive banquet table
in the center.
But what is also striking
about the Knights Chamber, as
it is called, is the large and mod-
em bronze menorah which sits
on the table.
Other works of art also adorn
the Knights Chamber, including
an Egyptian sphinx with a small
bird perched on its head.
This blend of medieval am-
biance and modern art is part of
what makes the Ilana Goor Mu-
seum in Old Jaffa so intriguing.
Newly opened one year ago,
the museum is named for its
artist-owner, who is also an art
collector. She has transformed
her own private residence into
an art museum, displaying her
own work and her extensive col-
lection of other artists' works.
They are housed in a hand-
some stone building situated on
a hillside overlooking the
Mediterranean and the ancient
port of Jaffa. Inside, the build-
ing's design is equally striking,
with its arches, cloisters, sky-
lights, staircases, balconies. The
building is so distinctive that it
would be worth visiting in its
own right. But it also offers a
whole array of works of art —
sculptures, paintings, decorative
crafts, even furniture. ❑
