The American Friends of Museums in Israel represents and raises funds for eight museums located throughout Israel: Design Museum Holon, Haifa City Museum, Haifa Museum of Art, Hermann Struck Museum, Mané-Katz Museum, National Maritime Museum, Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art, and the Tower of David Jerusalem Museum.

To help our partner museums we are collaborating with Artsy, a leading online auction platform, to present a Fine Art Benefit Auction with leading artists from around the world.

Our partner museums are markedly varied and have dedicated and talented staff that are not only committed to presenting outstanding exhibitions, but also to creating and maintaining art education programs for children and their families from all socio-economic groups and populations in Israel.

If you would like to learn more about the auction, please contact Enid Shapiro at eshapiro@museumsinisrael.org.
