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 children’s magazine. In 1996, after two years of editing both magazines, Rauner left Mishkafayim and 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.[3] In 2000, Monica Lavi replaced Smadar Tirosh and the name was changed to Muza (Hebrew for “muse”). Muza ceased publication in 2001.
