A contemporary art museum at Kibbutz Ashdot Ya'akov Meuhad, south of the Sea of Galilee, founded in 1958 in memory of two brothers

The Uri and Rami Nehushtan Museum was founded in June 1958 by Meir Nehushtan, a member of the kibbutz, in memory of his two sons, both gifted young painters, who died at seventeen: Uri fell in the 1948 war in the battle for Ramla and Lod, and Rami died of a snake bite six years later. The first building was designed by the architects Shulamit and Michael Nadler and was enlarged in 1962, 1971, 1986 and 2009; today it has three galleries for changing exhibitions, a gallery for the permanent display and the collection, and a sculpture garden in the yard. In 2018 the Shatz Library wing opened in the kibbutz's former library and archive building, as the education centre with a further exhibition hall. The museum shows changing exhibitions of artists working in Israel and abroad, a permanent display dedicated to the two brothers, and a collection of School of Paris painting and sculpture and of Israeli artists, especially of the Jordan Valley; its education department runs guided tours from kindergarten to high school and programmes for adults.
