Mishkafayim (lit, "Eyeglasses") was an interdisciplinary Hebrew journal of the arts published by the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.[1] Publication ran from 1987 to 2001.

History

For its first two years, Mishkafayim was a joint project of the Israel Museum’s youth wing and the weekly magazine Koteret Rashit. When Koteret Rashit closed down, the magazine was published in cooperation with the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.

Mishkafayim was a multidisciplinary magazine dedicated to culture that combined written and visual content, providing a stage for new and established writers, artists, and illustrators.

In 1994, after Mishkafayim had appeared for seven years, its editor, Tamir Rauner, launched Einayim (lit. "eyes”)[2], a monthly magazine for children aged 6-13 that chooses a different topic for each issue and presents it from various angles.[3] In 1996, after editing both magazines for two years, Rauner was replaced by Smadar Tirosh.

Under Tirosh, the magazine appealed to a more mature audience, and it was published as an art quarterly, no longer affiliated solely with the youth wing.[4] In 2000, Monica Lavi replaced Smadar Tirosh and the name was changed to Muza (Hebrew for “muse”). Muza ceased publication in 2001.

Content

Each issue of Mishkafayim was dedicated to a main theme, such as drawing, writing, portraiture, comics, photography, legend, light, games, packaging, chair, material, illustration, artists, nature, movement, childhood, love, politics, time, sex and art, heroes, forgery, language, madness, dreams, maps, television, food, earth, and stone.

In some cases, the theme of the magazine was chosen in coordination with exhibitions at the Israel Museum Youth Wing, such as "Earth." [5]
