Ilana Goor Museum

This guide to the Ilana Goor Museum in Jaffa follows sculptor Ilana Goor's 1983 purchase of a crumbling corner building she meant only as a quiet home, and the three centuries of other lives layered inside it since a pilgrim built it in 1742: a soap and perfume factory, a synagogue for Libyan Jews, and a refugee shelter for Balkan arrivals. You'll hear what restoration workers kept uncovering as they dug into the walls. Climb to the roof for the view out over the sea those pilgrims once crossed.
