Scientific advisors

The Project Steering Committee and Gallagher & Associates – in accordance with museum development standards – invited historians, educators, and sociologists to comment on the new Etz Hayim concept. Unfortunately, due to political disputes that had arisen around the project, several people declined the invitation. They did not want to aid the development of the museum’s exhibition material by giving feedback. Others  – who also asked not to be named  – were only willing to provide verbal comments. Furthermore, two consultants signed contracts with the museum developer MHKOK and submitted their remarks , but then withdrew their permission for the publishing of their feedback. The reviews, however, are very important to us, and we continue to look for insights from qualified professionals.

Comprehensive feedback we did receive can be found via the links below.
