Fortress and Fantasy - Making the past come alive!
This summer the Tower of David Museum invites you to enter our world … a world of fantasy in the fortress! This interactive exhibition invites children and parents alike to connect with the actual fortress structure at the Tower of David and then to leap into the realms of fantasy with the aid of state of the art technology.
The Tower of David Museum is located in the magnificently restored ancient citadel at the Jaffa Gate entrance to Jerusalem’s Old City. It’s a real life fortress, with towers, stone walls, guard rooms, a large dry moat, portcullis, and secret pathways and hiding places! Its ancient walls have guarded Jerusalem throughout the ages and many a legend has been made on the way to the fortress or within its walls.
Visitors will embark on a hands-on exploration of the real life fortress of the Tower of David, through the moats, tunnels and turrets learning about the fortress as their adventure unfurls. Is there another world that the passageways lead to? What secrets are buried in the moat?
The fortress then becomes the back drop for an adventure into the land of fantasy. Children are invited to move, to touch, to sense and to utilize different interactive media platforms and technologies developed by the Israeli company “EYECLICK”, thereby entering a virtual world of castles, myths and fantasies.
An interactive PLAYMOBIL exhibition hall will be sponsored by Creative Toys Ltd.
Exhibition design: Yuval Tal and Guy Leor at ONEBYONE. Exhibition curator: Liat Margalit
Suitable for children over 6 years. In Hebrew and English.
Price: Child – 15 NIS (in addition to admission price of 15 NIS) The entrance price to this exhibition for adults is included in the regular admission price (30 NIS).
The exhibition is being sponsored by INTEL, Bank of Jerusalem and the Jerusalem Municipality.
