Quiet Time: An event for children with disabilities and their families

Point of View

This summer, the museum offers a family experience full of curiosity, discovery, and fun. The Point of View exhibition, the Water Ways complex, and the Beyond the Sky space festival invite you on a journey through science, art, water, and space.

 

Alongside these, you will enjoy science shows, workshops, and interactive activities for all ages—a perfect blend of play, learning, and imagination during the summer holiday.

 

You are invited to a dedicated event offered at a subsidized price and with a limited number of participants. A wide range of activities, workshops, and demonstrations allow engagement at different levels according to each participant’s abilities and preferences.

 

During the summer, two Quiet Time events will take place:


Sunday, 16.8, 10:00–12:00
Sunday, 23.8, 10:00–12:00

 

Tours and guidance will be adapted and conducted by experienced facilitators.

Point of View Exhibition

The Point of View exhibition brings to Israel for the first time the extraordinary works of artist and scientist Jonty Hurwitz, one of the world’s leading creators at the intersection of art, science, and visual perception. Step into a world of optical illusions, anamorphic sculptures, and surprising artworks that appear abstract at first glance but reveal themselves clearly only from a specific angle or through a precise reflection. This is an interactive experience in which visitors do not simply observe the artworks—they become active participants in a fascinating journey through physics, mathematics, optics, and imagination.

Among the works on display is The Fragile Giant, a Guinness World Record–breaking sculpture: a nano-scale elephant created using advanced technology and invisible to the naked eye without a microscope. Beyond the visual experience, the exhibition also explores themes of identity, memory, the environment, and peace, inviting visitors to rethink the way we see and interpret the world. After being presented at leading international museums around the globe, the exhibition arrives in Israel for the very first time, here at the museum.

 

 

Water Ways Exhibition

Hot? Perfect!

The Water Ways exhibition returns this summer in a bigger, wetter, and especially refreshing version—and the outdoor area is transformed into an interactive space full of experiments, games, and hands-on water activities from every direction.

At the heart of the space, you’ll find a giant 70-meter-long water channel with endless opportunities to play, flow, build, and explore:
💧 Build dams and experiment with water flow
💧 Pumping stations and hands-on water movement activities
💧 Water cannons and interactive installations
💧 Exhibits demonstrating how water flows, compresses, splits, and sprays
💧 A new installation demonstrating the principle of communicating vessels and siphons

Water Ways is not only a wet and fun experience—it’s also an opportunity to discover how science, technology, and innovation are transforming the world of water.

Mekorot

Together with Mekorot, we developed an interactive projection surface that invites visitors to manage Israel’s water economy and explore the country’s water sources and unique system through the placement of 3D objects—from positioning pumping stations in the Sea of Galilee and desalination plants along the coast to connecting supply pipelines to cities. The projection responds instantly and shows the impact of each action on the water system.

Arad Water

Arad Water will present innovative flow meters alongside an interactive, hands-on activity where you can measure, calculate, and discover how to save water intelligently.

You’re going to get wet—so bring towels and a change of clothes!

Chain Reaction – Energy Show

(Additional 10 NIS per ticket)

A rhythmic, funny, and captivating science show where energy jumps off the page and onto the stage!

Through spectacular experiments, surprising demonstrations, and live audience interaction, participants discover how energy is created, transformed, and transferred in different ways. The audience is invited to enjoy a blend of entertainment, scientific curiosity, and contemporary humor that presents physical principles in an accessible, visual, and unforgettable way.

The show sparks the imagination, encourages scientific thinking, and leaves both children and adults with sparkling eyes and a desire to keep exploring the world around them.

The show will run 1–3 times daily in the auditorium at an additional cost of 10 NIS per ticket.

Building Workshop: Light Breaker

How do scientists discover what distant stars are made of?

Come build your own light diffraction card and discover how white light breaks down into a beautiful spectrum of colors. In a short, hands-on workshop, you’ll get to know a simple tool that reveals the secrets of stars and galaxies—just like in real space science.

At the end of the activity, you can take your creation home and continue exploring there as well!

Rocket Science Demonstration

Have you ever wondered how spacecraft and giant rockets are launched into space, or what the connection is between water and missions to the Moon?

In a surprising science demonstration with audience participation, you will discover fascinating details about the crewed spacecraft that reached the Moon, launch special balloons, and send surprising rockets into the air!
