2016-03-01: Tel Aviv art museum

After a day of R&R in Palmachim, we went to visit the wonderful Tel Aviv art museum, which was notable not only for its collection but its stunning architecture. Toward the end of today's entry are the first few pieces of a show of portraiture by Russian & USSR-born artists.

A gift from Dad.
