			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In honor of Tel Aviv&#8217;s centennial  celebrations, the Castles in the Sand exhibit will be featured until  October 25, 2009 at the Eretz Israel Museum. The exhibit, a tribute  made possible by the Dutch Embassy in Israel, features sand castles  recreating Habima Theater, Mugrabi Opera House and Herzliya High School  – the first Hebrew high school. The sand castles were sculpted by  artists from the World Sand Sculpting Academy, in Holland.<br />
<span id="more-255"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The museum features interesting  temporary exhibits for the entire family, including Faces: Inside and  Out (through November 21, 2009) – about people, faces, masks and beliefs.  The exhibit is experiential, and also features interactive games. The  posters, illustrations, emblems, children’s books and games, as well  as an array of photographs, (through March 2010) featured in Memories  of the Zoo, are only a fraction of the items aimed at recreating the  experience of visiting the zoo, as remembered by those who were once  children in Tel Aviv or those who came to the city to visit the zoo,  which was one of the attractions offered by the big city.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The museum also has a unique  gift store, featuring handiwork by leading Israeli designers in the  fields of Judaica, jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, children&#8217;s games and  more</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Curator: Doron Lurie</strong></p>
<p><strong>Through November 2009</strong></p>
<p>In an impressive and comprehensive  exhibit, painter Elie Shamir &#8211; who was born in Kfar Yehoshua &#8211; presents  the village that he was born in, views of the Jezreel Valley, the link  between man and his land, between Jewish pioneers and the Arab natives  and between the farmer and his field. In his paintings, Elie Shamir  corresponds with ancient mythologies and artistic traditions that are  intertwined with the story of a farming  community and his personal  memories. The interesting changes that transpire over the years are  evident in the paintings, from the portraits of valley residents, to  sowing the fields and the Chinese migrant workers eating in the fields.  Shamir is a clear representative of Israeli painting, while also relying  on motifs typical of artistic traditions.<br />
<span id="more-253"></span></p>
<p>The exhibit is accompanied  by an impressive catalog with fascinating texts by various writers  including Meir Shalev and Yitzhak Ben Ner<br />
