- The Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem is a museum, convention center and entertainment venue in downtown Jerusalem. The museum's construction was controversial due to its intrusion into the Mamilla Cemetery, a centuries-old Muslim burial site.
The three-acre, 185,000 square foot campus stands at the center of West Jerusalem between Zion Square and the neighborhood of Mamilla. Construction began in 2004, but changes were necessary due to planning objections.
The completed complex will include a garden, a 1,000-seat outdoor amphitheater, a 400-seat indoor theater, two museums, auditoriums and lecture rooms including an 800-seat lecture hall and a 500-seat banquet hall. The museum overlooks Mamilla Cemetery which dates back to the Crusades. Human remains were disinterred during the construction.
Two museums, one for children and one for adults, will explore the concept of tolerance in Israeli society. They will address topics like tolerance in sports and the health and education systems. According to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the museum will address "global anti-Semitism, extremism, hate, human dignity and responsibility, and promoting unity and respect among Jews and people of all faiths." Unlike the Museum of Tolerance of Los Angeles, the MTJ will not deal with the Holocaust since Yad Vashem in Jerusalem is already dedicated to this purpose.
Another goal of the MTJ is to revive the city center as a venue for theater and music performances, conventions, food and wine festivals, children's events and art workshops.
Design and construction
The first architect hired for the project was an Israeli architect, Ofer Kolker, before being turned over to Frank Gehry The center was then re-designed on a more modest scale by Israeli architects Bracha and Michael Chyutin, who withdrew from the project allegedly over a "commercial dispute". The rights to their design are owned by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, who entrusted the completion of the project to the Hong Kong-based Aedas architectural firm in cooperation with the Yigal Levy architects' office in Jerusalem.
Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger was invited to a ground-breaking ceremony on 30 April 2004.[10] A partial opening was scheduled for 2022, with the two museum exhibits to be completed later.
The top two floors of the building are connected by a "floating staircase," with floor-to-ceiling windows looking south onto Independence Park. The glass is covered with different patterns of dots to minimize heat and radiation from the sun.

Goodmorning Jerusalem, Goodmorning Israel, sending prayers and love from the United States
My mother’s mother was Jew. So my mother was Jewish. And so I’m naturally also Jew by definition. I’m also feeling that way. And therefore I become so very worried each time something occurs in the war.
So so sorry Zahi. I’m scaring you unnecessarily 🙏
Hello Zahi it looks like they haven’t finished the museum as it is very vast God bless and happy studying

Zahi I hope you did not lose weight due to poverty. Please respond with a message I can send you some money if you need food.
First thanks, but I lost weight because I was close to diabetes.
Hello! Thank you for that great video. What a beautiful museum. I went to the Simon Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles years ago, when I took a group of students there. It was an amazing experience. Vini...🤝🙂💙🇮🇱🤍
