Ticho House is a historic 19th-century residence in Jerusalem that now operates as a house museum and cultural venue, associated with the physician Dr. Abraham Ticho and his wife Anna Ticho. The house preserves period rooms and displays artworks, especially drawings by Anna Ticho, alongside historical archives.

The building comprises a domestic layout with exhibition rooms and a small public programme that includes changing displays and cultural events; a café is located on site. It is maintained as both an art venue and a preserved domestic interior reflecting the couple’s life in Jerusalem.

The house was acquired and inhabited by the Tichos in the early 20th century and later donated to cultural authorities for preservation and public access. Since becoming a museum it has been used to present aspects of Jerusalem’s cultural and social history through the lens of the Tichos’ collections.

Ticho House stands near central Jerusalem transport routes, on the western side of the city’s historic core, within walking distance of other museums and cultural institutions.

• Collections and café: The house displays works by Anna Ticho and the couple’s collection of Jerusalem-related art and antiquities; a small café operates on the premises.
• Visiting context: It functions as a historic house museum preserving early 20th-century domestic spaces in Jerusalem and is often visited in combination with nearby cultural sites on the city’s western side.

Ticho House is on Hanevi’im Street, about a 10-15 minute walk southwest from Jaffa Gate or 5-10 minutes from the Mahane Yehuda market. Numerous city buses serve central Jerusalem-bus lines and routes change, so use local route apps or ask at a neighborhood kiosk for the best connection.

• Combine a visit with the nearby Israel Museum or a walk down Hanevi'im Street-the house is only a few minutes' walk from the city center.
• Arrive before a scheduled talk or exhibition-the house hosts rotating displays of Anna Ticho's drawings and local Jerusalem photography.
• Sit in the garden café if it's open-its Jerusalem stone terrace is where local academics sometimes linger over tea.
