Jerusalem is an important center of the arts, going back to 1906, with the establishment of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. The Bezalel Academy joins many other Jerusalem-based art schools and institutions in setting the unique tone of the Jerusalem art scene, making the city a hub for art students and artists alike.
While there are not as many art galleries in Jerusaelm as there are in Tel-Aviv, the city is home for renowned art establishments such as The Israel Museum, Art Cube Artists' Studios, The Jerusalem Artists House and Hansen House.
