Six-Day War

June 5 – 10, 1967

Working Concept Plan

The experience this room is designed to create

In six days, Israel defeats Egypt, Jordan, and Syria simultaneously — capturing the Sinai, the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights. The war reshapes the Middle East in ways that reverberate through every subsequent decade. The territories captured are still disputed. The conflict it ignited has never ended.

Present Six-Day War with historical clarity, human dignity, and enough context to understand causes, choices, consequences, and contested memory.

Planning statusThis page is a directional design brief, not a finalized curatorial, architectural, or construction commitment. It will evolve through scholarly, community, accessibility, conservation, and design review.
Experience Framework

How the plan unfolds

01

Visitor journey

  • Orient visitors before the conflict through maps, timelines, and the voices of people who lived through it.
  • Build toward one central encounter without aestheticizing suffering.
  • Provide a decompression point focused on aftermath, memory, and the choices carried forward.
02

Spatial & atmospheric plan

  • Separate orientation, encounter, evidence, and reflection zones.
  • Use sound and motion sparingly, with visible content guidance and an alternate route.
  • Prioritize first-person testimony and artifact context over spectacle.
03

Interpretive commitments

  • Separate verified evidence, interpretation, and artistic reconstruction in the label hierarchy.
  • Review language and object context with relevant scholars and affected communities.
  • Provide captions, transcripts, tactile or descriptive alternatives, and a low-sensory path.
04

Next development priorities

  • Confirm the curatorial thesis and source packet.
  • Identify anchor objects, replicas, media, and rights requirements.
  • Prototype the central visitor encounter at full or representative scale.
  • Complete accessibility, conservation, safety, and ethical-display reviews.
