This afternoon I took a break from the computer and went to see “Living on the Dunes,” an exhibition that tells the story of Tel Aviv in photographs. It’s located on the first and second floors of the Shalom Tower; entrance is free, so I suppose I mustn’t grumble about the floor cleaning machine that was parked in front of one of the photos. Other than that, it’s really a marvelous exhibition. I was particularly attracted to the section called “The Cafes of Tel Aviv, 1920-1980.” Friends and veteran readers are no doubt familiar with my cafe fetish. I wrote about the Tel Aviv cafe scene for igoogledisrael, which is shaping up to be an excellent resource; and for a bonus, here’s a list of my favourite cafes.

Below are some photos of photos that I took at the exhibition. Click on each image to enlarge.
