Hansen House (Beit Hansen) is a historic building in the Talbiya neighborhood of Jerusalem, Israel established in 1887 as a leprosy hospital known as "Jesus-Hilfe" ('The Help of Jesus') in German, a name still visible on the façade. Today, the compound houses the branch of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design for master's degree studies in design, the Jerusalem Film and Television Project, and the editorial office of Erev Rav, a magazine focusing on contemporary art. The permanent historical exhibition, Behind the Wall, continues to present the story of the original hospital, and the courtyard hosts summer music performances and film screenings. Additionally, the compound includes the cafe operated by Meshek Ofaim and “HaDir,” a bar that opens in the evenings. Every year, Hansen House hosts Design Week in collaboration with artists and creators from Israel around a unified theme.[1][2]
