History
Established in 1965 in Herzeliya, Israel, the museum's main focus is Israeli and international contemporary art. The museum building was designed by Israel Prize laureate architect Yaakov Rechter.

It also has an educational program MUZA – A Place for Visual Experience. It holds different activities in the fields of video art and photography, including workshops and courses.

The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art is known for promotion of collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian artists by showing group exhibitions and organizing meetings and workshops for artists to work together. Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art also exhibits art from different continents, showing works of artists acclaimed in their countries, yet not known well to the Western World.
