Tel Aviv is Israel's cultural capital, and it fulfills this role with relish. The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the city's major artistic venue (for concerts and lectures as well as the fine arts), is complemented by a host of galleries, especially along Gordon Street.

Israel's largest concert hall is the home of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, led by maestro Zubin Mehta. The low-slung gray building was among the most architecturally sophisticated cultural buildings in the country when it was completed in 1957.

Run by the city, the Enav Cultural Center is a 300-seat venue offering eclectic music and theater, ranging from Israeli music to classical, opera, jazz, and blues.
This troupe is rooted in the Russian Revolution, when a group of young Jewish artists established a theater company that performed in Hebrew—this at a time when Hebrew was barely a living language. Subsequent tours through Europe and the United States in the 1920s won wide acclaim. Many of the group's members moved to Israel and helped establish a theater company that now inhabits multiple spaces, including a nicely renovated complex at Habima Square. Even though the vast majority of productions are in Hebrew, many are also simultaneously translated into English.
This exciting troupe of drummers and dancers bangs in perfect synchronicity on anything from garbage pails to the floor. It also plays actual drums from cultures all over the world.
