The Night Spectacular

Jerusalem Lights the Night

Spectacular new night show at the Tower of David Museum

As the sun sets in Jerusalem and dusk embraces the ancient stones of the Citadel, the Tower of David comes to life with a spectacular new night show. The story of Jerusalem unfolds in a majestic blaze of breathtaking images, characters and sounds that are projected onto the walls, archeological ruins, bridges and hidden pathways of the ancient citadel, the Tower of David.

The Tower of David Museum is considered a central cultural institution in Jerusalem and Israel. Its home is a site of exceptional beauty, one that holds layer upon layer of architecture from so many different time periods. Within the Citadel’s walls, the Museum initiates and undertakes projects that try to add additional dimensions to the usual museum experience. Night Spectacular joins a long tradition of exhibits and projects that herald the juxtaposition of ancient and modern, such as "Chihuly" in the year 2000 and "Soundscapes" in 2006-7.

Night Spectacular, with its mesmerizing film footage envelops the viewer in a unique multi sensory experience. Composed of motifs connected to the history of the city, its significance and its spirit, the show’s dynamic collage changes our perceptions of time and place. Special film techniques, giant sound and lighting systems work together to create a powerful experience.

Night Spectacular is the first of its kind in the world and required new technologies and advanced computer systems which operate 20 projectors, 10 video players, 10 video servers, 4 computers, 14 speakers and uses 10 km of different types of cable together with two projection rooms.

The Night Spectacular… everyone’s invited!

All nationalities! All languages … and all lovers of Jerusalem!
