The Museum on the Seam is a former army post that was on the border between Israel and Egypt in Jerusalem. After the reunification of Jerusalem the building was turned into an independent art museum that invites works by artists from throughout the world. Some of the artists are from countries with which Israel has no diplomatic relations. One of the current artists is from Saudi Arabia and is being prosecuted by the government there for sending an art piece to Israel. Some of you may remember the Coexistence exhibit that came to town a few years ago. It was cured by the Museum on the Seam. I think it is so perfect that Israel is the place where these artists can feel safe exhibiting their works and expressing so many diverse thoughts.
