Design Museum Holon is a museum of design in the city of Holon in the Tel Aviv District of Israel, opened in 2010 and designed by architect and designer Ron Arad. The building is widely noted for its sculptural exterior composed of three ribbon-like metal bands.

Inside are rotating exhibitions of industrial design, applied arts and new media, together with education and outreach programmes aimed at schools and the public. The museum stages temporary international shows as well as displays of Israeli design practice.

The museum was developed as part of Holon’s cultural expansion and serves as a national centre for design-led exhibitions and learning in Israel.

The site is in Holon on the southern edge of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, within easy reach of Tel Aviv and neighboring municipalities.

• Architecture: Designed by Ron Arad and completed in 2010, the building is known for three undulating rust-coloured bands that wrap the structure.
• Museum focus: Focuses on contemporary and historical design with a programme of temporary exhibitions, public events and educational activities.

• Education and workshop spaces: Dedicated education and workshop spaces used for design outreach, school programmes, and hands-on activities.

Design Museum Holon is in the city of Holon, just south of Tel Aviv. By car it’s about 10-15 km from central Tel Aviv via the Ayalon (Route 20) and local Holon roads or via Highway 4 - drive time typically 15-25 minutes. It’s also served by intercity and local buses from Tel Aviv to Holon; from Holon’s bus/train hubs take a short taxi or local bus to the museum entrance.

• Buy tickets online and reserve a timed entry for temporary exhibitions to avoid queues; the museum's striking Ron Arad-designed building is a reason many visitors photograph the exterior first, so allow time to circulate inside.
• Aim for weekday mornings or late afternoons to avoid school groups and bus tours; the sculptural red ribbon façade offers its best photographs from the western approach and plaza, which many visitors overlook.
