Architecture Tours for the General Pubic

Discover the architectural vision behind Jerusalem’s most beautiful new building.

The new home of the National Library of Israel, designed by Herzog & de Meuron in collaboration with Mann-Shinar Architects, weaves together the heritage of the Old City with the innovation of the 21st century. Through a fascinating architectural journey, we will explore how every element of the design reflects the deep connection between past and present, between Jerusalem stone and cutting-edge technology, and above all—between this remarkable building and the people it was created for.

Please note:

• The tours focus exclusively on the building’s architecture and do not include visits to the Library’s exhibitions.
• The tour includes both indoor and outdoor areas.
• Tours are led by Library guides who have received specialized training in the architectural aspects of the building; they are not professional architects.
