International House Museum Day 2026
April 18–19
An international event dedicated to homes that are also museums. From small private houses to historic mansions, from the homes of artists, writers, and collectors to family residences that have been transformed into museums – The event highlights the unique character of homes that function as museums.
This year, the Ilana Goor Museum has been selected to take part in this special international event. At the museum, this idea takes on an exceptional form: it is a home that is a living museum, where creation and collecting continue to evolve and change over time.
Guided tours will be held to mark the occasion and will include the story of Ilana Goor, the history of the building, and the collections on display.
