And that is another part of the museum's charm. Visitors are free to wander through the Goors' living room, guest bedroom, the guest bathroom with its stone sink and hand-crafted bronze fittings, and the magnificently equipped stone and steel kitchen. Everything is Goor-designed, from the tables to the chairs to the towel racks, to the coat hooks, created artfully to startle or entertain. Her work is monumental. It exudes the most extravagant, even brazen sense of style.
Furniture is ingenious, designed to amuse, to impress or to shock.
And yet it is created with such imagination and taste that, somehow, none of it goes over the top. The Ilana Goor Museum is open daily, as is its terrace restaurant. The museum shop sells Goor's jewelry, tableware, fabrics and clothing. The Ilana Goor Museum is at 4 Mazal Dagim St. in Old Jaffa. All rights reserved.
