rdf:langString The Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem (MTJ; Hebrew: מוזיאון הסובלנות ירושלים) is a Simon Wiesenthal Center-planned complex due to be used from 2022 onwards as a convention center, entertainment venue, and town square, with a secondary use as a museum of tolerance in Israeli society. The three-acre, 185,000 square foot campus stands at the center of West Jerusalem between Zion Square and the neighborhood of Mamilla. Construction started in 2004, but ran into various problems and the MTJ had to be re-designed on a more modest scale than originally planned. The complex will include a garden, a 1,000-seat outdoor amphitheater, a 400-seat indoor theater, two "museums of tolerance" - one each for children and adults -, further auditoriums and lecture rooms including an 800-seat lecture hall, a 500-seat banquet hall, a gender-separated religious study hall, as well as other accommodations. Museum officials admit that calling the MTJ a "museum" is to a certain degree misleading, it being intended to "revive the city's center" by hosting performances, conventions, movie screenings, food and wine festivals, children's events and art workshops. The museum is built on an ancient Muslim cemetery and skeletons were removed from the ground during its construction.
