For the second year in a row, Contact Point offers museumgoers, for one night only, an entirely different experience. The event hosts a wide range of artists who engage with beloved artworks and respond to them.

The result is a singular opportunity to wander through the Museum campus and witness happenings unique to that very night. Contact points occur at different times and in various spaces – indoors or outdoors, dynamic or static, by individual artists or groups.

The evening features live works of art in such diverse media as dance, music, spoken word, and performance, as well as a Wi Party – an earphone party in complete silence under the open sky.

Participants include Karolina, Dikla, Kobi Meidan, Sigalit Landau, Broken Fingaz, Gil Alon, Sirenot Ensemble, Benny Ziffer, Ram Matza, Smadar Sheffi, Menahem Ben, Shai Golden, Sharon Kantor, Hila Alpert, Yigal Zalmona, Ruti Direktor, Gideon Ofrat, and others.
