This historic Tel Aviv building was originally the house of Meir Dizengoff, the first mayor of Tel Aviv. The most famous event in the history of this building took place on May 14, 1948, when the first Prime Minister of Israel, David Ben-Gurion signed a document here declaring Israel to be an independent nation. Now, the building is a museum dedicated this great act, and to the centuries or even millennia of history behind it.
It is a small, stark house, a particularly simple, block-like example of the modernist architecture that Tel Aviv is known for. The main hall is an auditorium. Tour groups meet here to listen to lectures about the creation of the State of Israel. The only decoration consists of two flags of Israel that flank a portrait of Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism. The Tel Aviv Museum of Art used to be based here, between the years of 1932 and 1971, before it got moved to livelier quarters.
