Museum on the Seam is a social contemporary art museum in Jerusalem, which was selected by the New York Times as "one of the 29 most impressive art institutions in the world". The Museum is located on the geographic seam between the three religions. It presents art as a language with no boundaries to raise social issues for public discussion while emphasizing what connects us rather than what keeps us apart.
