The Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem, executed by LSI Stone in Jerusalem, Israel, constitutes a testimony to the importance of learning from history and promoting a society based on understanding, empathy and respect for all individuals. Created by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, this museum offers a unique and impactful experience to its visitors.

The use of Portuguese stones Moca Cream and Moleanos on the museum’s exterior introduces an aura of refinement, leaving a deeply impactful visual impression. The interaction of textural complexities and tonal gradients of the stone confers a three-dimensional character to the facade, reinforcing its comprehensive aesthetic charm.
