Ilana Goor has always played by her own rules. A bold, uncompromising artist who dared to turn her work into a thriving business, she became both a success story and a source of suspicion, often treated as an outsider by the Israeli art establishment. After personal trauma and harsh public criticism, she responded in the most Ilana way possible: by creating her own museum, a living home for her art, her collections, and her singular vision. Now after a lifetime of building, fighting, and refusing to apologize for who she is, the future of the Ilana Goor Museum - and of her life's work - hangs in the balance.
