Note(s)This museum in the West Bank will celebrate Palestinian arts and culture. Due to the complex political climate, the museum is conceived as a hub whose exhibitions will be both virtual and physical. The form and contours of the museum are inspired by the terraced landscape of the surrounding villages in Birzeit. As Palestine's first green building it achieved LEED Silver certification.
