The main exhibit consists of seven structures fronted by
authentic likenesses of the historic Gates of the Old City of
Jerusalem, designed and painted by professional theatrical
set designers in Boston.
Through each gate are interactive displays highlighting
particular themes about Jerusalem, including history, art,
literature, archeology, geography, faith traditions, and ethnic
origins and customs.
Developed by the Bureau of Jewish Education of Boston in
1993, its tours have demonstrated broad appeal across
religious and secular lines from preschool through senior
citizens.
