Jerusalem School: Anna Ticho’s House: In Hebrew

The exhibit “Jerusalem School” presented at the Tower of David and HaMiffal, allows a glimpse at the beginnings of Jerusalem art and its development over the course of more than 100 creative years. Surrounding the exhibit, a number of tours are being offered throughout the city, focusing on art, poetry and the spirited people whose works are featured in the exhibit.

Ticho house is one of the most beautiful and picturesque houses in Jerusalem. The house was built during the 19th century, and was occupied by the Ticho couple – Anna, a painter; and Abraham, one of the most famous eye doctors in the Middle East. Throughout their lives they opened the house to the city’s residents; today it hosts exhibits and displays of the Ticho couple’s personal items.

On the tour, visit the Ticho house, and continue to the streets of the nearby city center. Learn about the art, poetry, and creative people whose works are featured in the exhibit “Jerusalem School.”
