Story through
On May 14th, 1948, arrived here one after the other the members of the Jewish National Council and the leaders of the Jewish community, and in the afternoon, David Ben-Gurion came up on the stage and declared the founding of the State of Israel. All this took place at the entrance floor, named "Independence Hall”, which one can tour and actually feel the drama. This place features many photographs and documents describing the events of that day. A long time before this exciting event, this was the home of Tel Aviv’s first mayor, Meir Dizengoff, and his wife Zina. In 1930, Dizengoff donated this house for the founding of a museum of Art and an educational center. In 1959 the museum moved from here and since 1972 a part of the building houses the small "Bible Museum”, featuring an impressive library on the subject of the Bible, various exhibitions and exhibits such as rare Bibles, some in various surprising languages, works of art with Biblical themes, archeological artifacts and more.

In the summer of 2003 UNESCO declared parts of the city of Tel Aviv as a World Heritage Site due to the International style of architecture (Bauhaus) which characterizes many of its buildings. And THE place in which to raise one’s head and enjoy the architecture is Rothschild Boulevard, which has become a real "city”. Note for example the building on the corner of Nachmani Street or building number 84 (Angel House) and of course building number 96 (Friedman House), on one of the balconies of which stand sculptured figures made by the artist Ofra Zimbalista. But beyond the architectural interest, Rothschild Boulevard has become one of the trendiest areas in Tel Aviv during the day, due to its many financial businesses, as well as during the night due to its entertainment areas, cafés and restaurants. Old Rothschild Boulevard, which started its life already in 1910, in the days of "Achuzat Bait” (which became Tel Aviv) offer a leisurely walk and an enjoyable and relaxed cosmopolitan atmosphere, despite being in the midst of the busy city.

"The White City” refers to an area in the city of Tel Aviv which includes a collection of over 4,000 different buildings that were built in the International style of the Bauhaus. These buildings were built starting in the 1930s and until the founding of the State of Israel by Jewish architects who have emigrated here mostly from Germany and were greatly influenced by the International architectural style which was prevalent in the countries from which they came. This style is characterized by simple and clean lines with a special emphasis on a convenient and functional living environment and uniformity of color. As most of the buildings in the city of Tel Aviv were plastered over in white, this area was named "The White City”. Over the years, a local interpretation was developed for the style of Bauhaus, which was influenced by the Israeli climate and included vast balconies and large doors and windows that will take advantage of the sunlight and will allow for the ventilation and cooling of the house. In 2003, the city of Tel Aviv's "White City” was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
