The Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem is the Simon Wiesenthal Center-planned Museum of Tolerance at the center of West Jerusalem between Zion Square and the neighborhood of Mamilla. The project was re-designed on a more modest scale than originally planned.

The three-acre, 185,000 square foot campus is scheduled to open in 2023. ()
