Sitting high on the brow of a Jerusalem hill directly opposite the Knesset, the sprawling site—now more than half a century old—contains nearly half a million objects, from the Dead Sea Scrolls to Crusader armour to masterpieces by Rembrandt and Marc Chagall. Constructed as a set of loose encounters with its human inhabitants, we eavesdrop on the curators, museum guards, archaeological conservators, visiting schoolchildren, and even the resident rabbi, who together form a kaleidoscopic picture of the way art, history and national destiny intersect in the galleries. Through it all, the Israel Museum emerges as a shining example of a nation’s highest aspirations for itself. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Classic Cinemas: JIFF 2018: The Museum
