Delve deeper into the Bible by learning about the lives of the people who populated the Ancient Near East at the award-winning Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem. Founded in 1992 by the late Dr. Elie Borowski and his wife Batya, the Bible Lands Museum’s extensive collection of ancient art and archaeology helps visitors gain a more intimate understanding of the Bible through discovering the daily practices of the people who lived during that period.

The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem (BLMJ), located on Museum Row, is in the heart of the modern cultural center of Jerusalem.  The collection draws from the vast geographic area reaching from Afghanistan in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, from the Caucasian mountains in the north to Nubia (Sudan) in the south.

The collection dates from the dawn of civilization, focusing on the pre-historic era 6,000 years ago to the Early Christian Era, approximately 1000 CE. Displayed chronologically, the Main Exhibition sheds light on the daily lives and beliefs of the rich civilizations that have since vanished, including how they cooked, worshiped, buried their dead, fought their battles, adorned themselves with jewelry, among many other aspects.

BLMJ has earned international acclaim as a universal center for cultural and educational programming.

[CH] NONAM – North America Native Museum [osvrt Kristina Dragčević Gwirtzman]

NONAM. Fotografija: KDG.

NONAM. Fotografija: KDG.

Muzej Sjevernoameričkih Indijanaca i Inuita posvećen je umjetnosti i kulturi domorodnih stanovnika koji su živjeli na prostorima današnje Kanade i Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. Sačinjen je od predmeta iz privatne zbirke Gottfrieda Hotza (collection Hotz) koju 1961. godine od vlasnika otkupljuje grad Zurich. Zbirku kasnije novim predmetima dopunjava Hans Läng, sve do umirovljenja. Muzej, uz stalni postav, na godišnjoj razini organizira i jednu do dvije tematske izložbe.

NONAM svakako vodi dobru marketinšku politiku. Promotivni posteri i informativni članci o muzeju nalaze se u gotovo svakom turističkom vodiču i brojnim brošurama kojima se predstavljaju zanimljivosti grada Zuricha. Posjetitelj Zuricha kojeg zanimaju umjetnost i povijest/arheologija nakon ovako intenzivnog predstavljanja pomislit će kako se radi o muzeju kojeg nipošto ne smije izostaviti, a zapravo se radi o vrlo malom muzeju sa skromnim postavom. NONAM se predstavlja kao muzej prilagođen svim dobnim uzrastima, no prema vlastitoj procjeni, rekla bih da je radi vrlo pojednostavljenog prikaza i malobrojne količine predmeta, ipak prikladniji mlađim posjetiteljima. Veličina cijelog izložbenog prostora i bogatstvo zbirke mogli bi se usporediti tek s manjim muzejskim „krilom“ nekog etnološkog muzeja.

Na samom ulazu u Muzej rečeno mi je da je zapravo najveća vrijednost ovog muzeja njegova specijalizirana knjižnica, no u nju nije moguće ući prije prethodne najave i pismenog odobrenja nadležne osobe. Je li knjižnica uistinu toliko bogata i interesantna, nisam mogla provjeriti iz prve ruke, pošto je moj posjet bio spontan i nenajavljen.

Stalni postav obuhvaća šest različitih regija Kanade i Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. Posjetitelj tako može dobiti skroman uvid u način života domorodnih stanovnika Velikih ravnica (Great Plains) i Prerije (Prairie), Sjeveroistočnih šuma (NortheasternWoodlands), subarktičkih i arktičkih zona te jugozapadne pustinje (Southwestern Desert). Među izloženim predmetima, ističu se nošnje i uporabni predmeti iz svakodnevnog života, posebice kanui i čamci koji impresioniraju svojim dizajnom, materijalom izrade i dimenzijama. Zbirka također obuhvaća mali broj prepariranih životinja, među kojima sjevernoamerički bizon zauzima dominantno mjesto.

Stalni postav također ima i zvučnu sobu u kojoj se mogu doživjeti najupečatljiviji zvukovi svake od navedenih regija. Njih čine govor naroda spomenutih geografskih regija (Inuita, naroda Kwakiutl, Hopi, Navajo), pjesma, bubanj te razni zvukovi prirode. Koliko je zvuk i govor tim narodima bio važan, govori činjenica da se tradicija Sjevernoameričkih Indijanaca prenosila isključivo usmenom predajom.

Informativne pločice uz eksponate vizualno su privlačne te nose zanimljive i korisne tekstove kojima se naoko „neugledni“ predmeti pretvaraju u prave dragocjenosti. Jedina zamjerka jest nepostojanje dvojezičnih tekstova, pa ukoliko ne znate njemački, bivate zakinuti za zanimljive informacije ili ste pak primorani uzeti službeno vodstvo.

Muzejska trgovina nudi zanimljive i živopisne suvenire koji izgledaju vrlo autentično. Na raspolaganju su također neke publikacije poznatih izdavačkih kuća o životu Indijanaca i Inuita, no nažalost u prodaji nema muzejskog kataloga koji bi primjerice bio od koristi nekome tko proučava ovu tematiku.

Ukoliko ste pripadnik stručne javnosti ili su pak Sjevernoamerički Indijanci i Inuiti područje vašeg interesa, od ovog muzeja nemojte previše očekivati. Ukoliko ste pak samo radoznali posjetitelj koji ima malo slobodnog vremena u Zurichu te želi „na brzaka“ dobiti „ideju“ kako u stvarnosti izgledaju neki od uporabnih predmeta spomenutih naroda, tada će za vas ovaj muzej biti sasvim dovoljan.

Ipak, najvažnije je reći da će, bez obzira na vlastita očekivanja i interese, nakon obilaska ove malene zbirke, najvažniji cilj muzeja biti neupitno postignut – spoznat ćete (ili pak potvrditi već postojeće znanje) kako Inuiti nisu Indijanci, a razlika između plemena Lakota, Tlingit i Hopinije ništa manja no razlika između, primjerice, Finaca, Španjolaca i Švicaraca.

Delve deeper into the Bible by learning about the lives of the people who populated the Ancient Near East at the award-winning Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem. Founded in 1992 by the late Dr. Elie Borowski and his wife Batya, the Bible Lands Museum’s extensive collection of ancient art and archaeology helps visitors gain a more intimate understanding of the Bible through discovering the daily practices of the people who lived during that period.

The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem (BLMJ), located on Museum Row, is in the heart of the modern cultural center of Jerusalem. The collection draws from the vast geographic area reaching from Afghanistan in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, from the Caucasian mountains in the north to Nubia (Sudan) in the south.

The collection dates from the dawn of civilization, focusing on the pre-historic era 6,000 years ago to the Early Christian Era, approximately 1000 CE. Displayed chronologically, the Main Exhibition sheds light on the daily lives and beliefs of the rich civilizations that have since vanished, including how they cooked, worshiped, buried their dead, fought their battles, adorned themselves with jewelry, among many other aspects.

BLMJ has earned international acclaim as a universal center for cultural and educational programming. It leads innovative tours for school children, presents weekly lectures, and offers a variety of courses for adults. The Museum is a vibrant cultural institution offering creative programs for families and a rich array of activities throughout the year.

This archive is considered one of the most important archaeological finds relating to the history of the Jewish people.

Advanced multi-media enhance this exhibition which focuses on one of the most important milestones in the history of the Jewish people.

DIONYSUS:  Wine & Divine

A brief encounter with the god of wine, intoxication and ecstasy, and his frenzied entourage in this display of enchanting artifacts, many of which are being exhibited for the first time. Roman Fresco Room

From Pompeii to Jerusalem: The frescoes in this collection are believed to be from the villas of Boscotrecase, a suburb of Pompeii that was frozen in time with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. Sealed beneath the lava, they were preserved for centuries and still retain their vibrant colors and fine detailed painting. The beautiful frescoes, made in the Roman technique of wet plaster painting, portray magical panoramic views of nature, mythology, erotica and more. One of the prominent pieces from the collection is the “Erotic Scene of a Nude Nymph.” *On view by request only.
