International solidarity

This section addresses the bias of international law in favour of Israel, highlighting the U.S. veto power in the Security Council on matters related to Palestine, which has hindered Palestinian refugees' right of return and self-determination, eroding trust in international law. Despite political injustice, the exhibition emphasises the hope Palestinians have found in global solidarity movements supporting their cause since the 1920s, and the role of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement in calling for sanctions against Israel.

Historical context

This section sheds light on central aspects of the history of Palestine and the Palestinian cause. It begins by presenting glimpses into the history and geography of Palestine, tracing its image in the global imagination over centuries, and exploring Palestine before borders. It also examines the British military plan and the partition plan, leading up to its current reality, marked by the fragmentation of its map and the changes it has undergone. The section also delves into the history of Gaza, from the time of the Canaanites, Romans, and Crusaders, to the present day.

Art and culture

The section showcases the resilience of the Palestinian people, highlighting their cultural and artistic heritage as expressions of their deep connection to the land. It explores the development of music that reflects this bond, which later inspired rhythms for traditional dances like the "dabka". It also features Palestinian embroidery and traditional clothing, symbolising love for the land through intricate designs. Visual arts are emphasised, with the land and its natural landscapes serving as central themes.

Wars on Gaza

This section documents the brutal wars on Palestine, starting with the Balfour Declaration and British mandate, followed by the Naksa, the Stone Intifada, and the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000. It covers the wars and massacres resulting from Israeli aggression in Gaza since 2000, culminating in the recent genocide. The section highlights the blockade's devastating impact, including starvation, death, and the displacement of over two million Palestinians.

Is it free?

Exhibitions are available for free, and the Museum does not charge any fees for their use. The host is responsible for the cost of printing and all expenses related to exhibition set-up, which vary depending on the nature of the location, the materials used for printing, the size of the prints, and the exhibition space.

Does it?

In its final poster component, the exhibition takes a stand, emphatically stressing the importance of understanding the Palestinian cause to adopt a moral position. We are reminded that the transformations in global public opinion and the rise of solidarity with the Palestinian cause were borne from unrestricted access to knowledge.

How do we promot?

This knowledge was game-changing and, we believe, will ultimately culminate in justice and liberation for Palestinians. Through this exhibition, the free of the world are called to push for real action to achieve justice for the Palestinians, and to be inspired to visit Palestine if they can and be welcomed by us on the ground.  

On the Wing of an Angel

This artwork takes us across vast expanses of clay into the heart of Jerusalem, within its ancient walls. Through the cracks in the clay, we witness the city’s adornments, fractures, solitude, and the waters of its oasis that breathe life into all its corners. Here, Jerusalem appears as a destination for the traveler, the fighter, the struggler, the believer, the worshiper, the refugee, the wanderer, and the lover. Torn paths lead to it, testing the seekers’ resolve and the depth of their faith in the necessity of reaching the heart of the world.

New Visions

The New Visions group was established during the First Palestinian Intifada in 1989, a period when everything echoed a call for freedom. During this monumental era, an entire people rose above their profound wounds, united in declaring: "No voice rises above the voice of the Intifada". 

The March of Trees

We stand like high trees,
roots embracing the earth,
branches cradling the sky.
We nurture one another,
our trunks, the skin of the land,
our limbs, dyed with the henna of struggle.
And when we command the forest to march,
it will march,
toward tomorrow,
toward freedom.
Our steps crawl toward the horizon,
where a home and a dream await.
We become a forest,
welded together in our journey,
the individual bears the essence of the whole,
