Israeli museum houses intriguing Islamic artifacts
JERVSALEM^ ISLAMIC MUSEUM features an elaborate collection of timepieceiT
including an 18fh centurydock (above) in laid wood And lacquer made for a Turkish customer.
By DVORA WAYSMAN
-On the corner of Jerusalem's HaPaimach Street, just a block from the President's residence, stands a stately five-storey building of mellow Jerusalem stone. A plaque — in Hebrew, Arabic and English announces it to the L.A. Mayer Institute for Islamic Art.
The museuni, filled with priceless treasures from the Arab world, holds a few surprises. First, the director and most of the:staff are Jewish, and none of the funding comes from Arab sources-lhTact ifwas endowed by an Englishwoman—the late Vera
Bryce Salonions, who was the daughter of the first Jewish Lord Mayor of London, Sir David Salomons.
She built the museum as a tribute to her teacher aiid friend, Professor LeoiiArie Mayer (1895 to 1959) who was a great scholar and author of many books on Islamic art, and who was awarded the Israel Prize for his work in 1949.
The museum contains more than 4,000 works of art in three separate collections, dating from 700 CE, and they include exhibits from Iraii, Turkey, India, Egypt, Syria and Iraq. In the different galleries, you can pore over medieval chess figures and a rare collection of the now
Israel is the ancient ruins of a 20,0(X)'seat race track the Romans built in 2 A.D.
And Greek relics. And caves that Stone ^e men lived in 120 centuries ago. And 2G minutes later it's "Blazing Saddles" in a Haifa theatre.
Or strobe^Ughts and electric guitars in Tel Aviv.
Israel is also a Mediterranean Miami Be^ich called Herzliy^. Where you can check into a luxury hotel and lie in the sun all day.
So you should go home with a tan.
It's an American film company shooting a television commercial in the Negev. And the Chagall wfaidows in'the Hadassah Medical Center.,
It's falafel, latkes, kosher coq auvin, and pizza.
The Hatik vah before a soccer game.   -'
And blocks of shops where you can buy any* thing from the world's softest leather trench coat, to a stack of Hebrew comic books. -   If you bring your clubs, there's even golf in Israel.
If you bring your racquet, tliSe's tennis.
And if you bring any feding^at all, there are moments that will stay with yciiff'forever.
The WaiUng Wall on the Sabbath.
The silence at the Memorial to the Six Million,
The sight of a.blue and white-Magen David' Israeli flag flapping over a children's village in the Galilee.
Altogether, there is more in Israel that's exciting, surprising and profoundly moving than you can begin to imagine.
And there isn't an airline in the world that can show it to you the way we caii.
Because from the flight attendants who' greet you with "shalom", El Al is Israel. And only we can fly you there non-stop from Montreal.
So call us or have your travel agent call us. But either way, come to Israel this year. In the words of that old Israel expression, you^re in for the time of your tS'^'^PI

There- are .richly' embroidered robes of honor, textiles and carpets; a fascinating collection armoury — turban helmets; daggers, chainmail gfoves and decorated horses' harnesses.
To many; the most.absorbing collection is not Islamic but consists of timepieces, antique autotnata, music boxes and clocks —r the collection is said to be 'the most valuable in the world.
There are priceless Bregiiet watches made in Paris between 1769 and 1823, including the beaiitiful watch which belonged to Queen Marie Antoinette.. Music boxes are
displayed — when wound, singing birds emerge from them, flap their wings and turn their head?.; Others have little waterfajllsthaf cascade or fires that bum. Most 'of these exhibits came from Sir Dayid Salo-nions' collection. !(X JCNS
