Join us for an inspiring journey through 70 years of creativity by Yehoram Gaon — the artist, actor, and singer who has left an indelible mark on Israeli culture. Through interactive installations, videos, unique clips, rare items from Gaon’s personal collection, and an audio guide in his own voice, discover the remarkable path of one boy, born in Jerusalem, who grew up to become a national icon and the soundtrack of an entire country.

The exhibition traces key stages of Gaon’s life: Jerusalem neighborhoods, IDF troupes, theater performances, films, songs, and recordings — up to his contemporary work. Highlights include iconic hats, original manuscripts, never-before-seen rare items, and many more surprises. The show also features spectacular clips directed by Kobi Farag, a transparent studio where you can record your own cover song and receive a personal keepsake video, and a rich, beautifully designed exhibition catalog for those who want to take the inspiration home.
