Birzeit University Museum’s Art Collection holds hundreds of pieces of art work from Palestinian and international artists.
The life span of this growing collection reflects the institutional memory of BZU from the early 1990s and BZU Museum since its founding in 2005.
This collection in all of its diversity of form, style and medium represents both global and national support for our mission at BZU and BZU Museum in terms of pedagogical, artistic and intellectual practice.
BZU and BZUM have acquired this magnificent collection over the last three decades and features, among others, artwork from Etel Adnan, Kamal Boullata, Marwan (Marwan Kassab-Bachi), Samia Halaby, Silman Mansour, Sari Khoury, Nabil Anani, Mona Saudi, Ismail Shammout, Laila Shawa, Vladimir Tamari, Sophie Halaby, Mona Hatoum and Vera Tamari.
It shall continue to grow for decades to come.
Through our display practices, that include experimental and more traditional exhibition practices, we hope to always educate through culture and explore the nuance and intricacies of museum-practice in a decolonial praxis.
