Featuring the work of Moshe Tzvi HaLevi Berger on permanent display, each painting included in the museum’s collection is a visual poem, blurring the lines between aesthetics and meditation to soften the eyes and connect the soul.

Located in downtown Jerusalem, The Museum of Psalms was founded in 1995, under the auspices of Rabbi Meir Yehuda Getz, z”tl. The Museum features the artwork of Moshe Tzvi Berger on permanent display.

Inspired by passages from the Bible and the Oral Law, each painting in the museum’s collection is itself a prayer poem, or visual psalm, adhering to the four pillars of art as tangible expression of Divine Vision: harmony, beauty, spirituality and truth. In 2007, the “Sun Garden” was added to the museum’s exhibitions and is now open for public viewing.

Admission:
Museum admission is free; a 10-shekel per person donation is recommended.

Hours:
The Museum is open Sunday through Thursday, 10 am until 5 pm. Closed Fridays, Saturdays, and legal holidays. Hours are subject to change. Please call ahead at +972 2 623 0025.
