The Eyal Ofer Pavilion for Contemporary Art is a compact gallery at Tarsat Ave 6 in Tel Aviv, known for exhibitions centred on an artist or a single theme. Its renovated interior spreads across several levels, with mezzanines, staircases and an internal lift. The galleries are clean and well lit, and the surrounding gardens and nearby coffee shops give you room to pause before or after viewing the show. Check the current exhibition before you go, since the art on display changes.
A gallery built around the exhibition
The pavilion was formerly known as the Helena Rubinstein Pavilion for Contemporary Art. Its renovated galleries are arranged across several floors, linked by staircases and an internal lift. Mezzanine levels add further viewing spaces, while the building’s clean, bright interiors keep attention on the art.
Exhibitions tend to centre on one artist or theme. Alberto Giacometti has been shown here, but the programme changes, so check what is on view before planning your visit.
Finding the entrance
The pavilion is at Tarsat Avenue 6, next to the home of the Israel Philharmonic. It is separate from the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, so do not assume the two are in the same building. The entrance can be difficult to spot from the main road. Look for the large sign, then watch for the entrance on your right as you approach the fountains.
Gardens surround the venue, and several coffee shops are nearby. The pavilion has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom. If you plan to buy tickets online, arrange that before arriving; the ticketing process has caused confusion for some visitors.
