Today is the 50th birthday of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. http://www.imj.org.il/
Thought I’d take this opportunity to share congratulations with colleagues from LACMA I’ve met through MCN over the years: it’s their birthday year, too. http://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/50-for-50 Looked at ethnographically, 1965 looks like some sort of Proto-Vintage Era, it’s cultural artifacts rescued on their way from attics to the garbage dump by very young curators. I suppose Mad Men was the ground-breaker for that kind of material culture research. Anyway, for those classicists into Very Recent Antiquity, here’s something we’ve done on what 1965 looked like in Israel and on the Israeli art scene: http://www.imj.org.il/exhibitions/2015/1965/ Don’t let the fact that it’s in Hebrew deter you; just click around and enjoy the visuals. Happy birthday to us all. Amalyah Keshet Head of Image Resources and Copyright Management The Israel Museum, Jerusalem
