Is this your business?Claim it freeA museum of Islamic art on HaPalmach Street in Jerusalem, opened in 1974, with art of the Muslim world from the 7th to the 19th century and the Sir David Salomons collection of watches and clocks
The Museum for Islamic Art was founded by the philanthropist Vera Bryce Salomons, who conceived it to show the artistic achievements of Muslim civilisation, Israel's neighbours, and it opened to the public in 1974, dedicated to her friend and teacher Professor Leo Aryeh Mayer. It holds two collections: Islamic art from the 7th to the 19th century, from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Turkey, India, Afghanistan, Spain and Iran, and the Sir David Salomons collection of watches and clocks, built in the early 20th century, which includes the Queen Marie Antoinette watch. Its site says it serves as a multicultural bridge between Arabs and Jews in Israeli society, and it is supported by the ministries of culture and of education and by the Jerusalem municipality. It has an education department, workshops and activities for young children, and visitors may bring small bags only, with lockers by the box office.
