Day One, Joppa...Ilana Goor Museum














Our first full day in Israel took us to the old city of Joppa and our first stop was to the Ilana Goor art gallery. Ilana Goor is an eccentric Jewish artist who is amazingly talented, but also, let's say, a little dark in her art...to say she has some angst is like saying the ocean has some water in it...

The gallery itself was worth going to just for the building. It was an old converted lime stone building that she made not only into the art gallery, but it also is her personal home! She lives, cooks and creates in this amazing building which also has an incredible view of the Mediterranean Sea as you can see from some of the pics.

If you would like to see more of her work, you can click here http://www.ilanagoor.com

In my next post, I'll talk about some of the biblical sites of Joppa that we saw...
