On the Seam – a unique boutique museum

Jerusalem travel guide

On the Seam is a unique boutique museum which exhibits the finest art from Israel and abroad by leading contemporary artists, and discusses social, gender-oriented, ethnic and geographical issues, while emphasizing what connects us rather than what keeps us apart.

Past exhibitions at the Museum, which was described by the National Geographic as “a fascinating and unique museum”, have dealt with themes of human rights, animal rights, ecology and sustainability, and the place of the individual, among others, in modern world.

The Museum, which was selected by the CNN as “one of Israel’s 10 best museums”, is located in a beautiful neo-classical building, built in 1932. During the years Jerusalem was divided (1948-1967), the house was turned into an Israeli military outpost situated on the border between Israel and Jordan, and was the only passage between the two parts of the divided city. During the battles of the 1967 war, the house suffered hits from shells and bullets that are apparent to this day.

Burnt House in Wohl Archaeological Museum Jerusalem

Burnt House in Wohl Archaeological Museum Jerusalem

The Burnt House is an excavated house situated six meters below current street level, The house is dated to the Second Temple period located in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem and is believed to have been set on fire during the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. The Burnt House is a magnificent structure, located some six meters underground, found during excavations of the “Upper City.” It is named so because it serves as a unique testimony to the destruction of Jerusalem during the first century, and the fire set by the Romans. Archaeologists at the site discovered stone tablets, grindstones and ovens, large pitchers, bowls and measuring cups, and researchers believe that there was a perfume workshop at the site. Apparently the house was burned during the Roman conquest of the “Upper City” , in the large fire that also engulfed the Temple. The structure is also called Kathros House because of an inscription found at the site. The Kathros family was one of four priestly families that abused their positions.

One of the most remarkable places to explore in Jerusalem is the Herodian Quarter, which dates back over 2000 years and still retains its original architecture from when it was first built.

The History of the Herodian Quarter The Herodian Quarter was built during the reign of King Herod (37 BCE to 4 BCE). The quarter was located outside the walls of what was then known as the Old City, near today's Damascus Gate entrance. It was intended as a place for wealthy residents to live and enjoy luxurious amenities such as private gardens, public baths, palaces, and temples. The beautiful mosaics that remain today are testament to how impressive this area once was. The quarters were destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE in response to Jewish revolts against their rule. The stones from the quarter were used to build new structures elsewhere in the city. In recent times, however, archaeologists have uncovered some of these ancient stones and put them back together again to give us an insight into what life must have been like during King Herod’s reign.
