The Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem (MTJ; Hebrew: מוזיאון הסובלנות ירושלים, romanizedMuzeon HaSovlanut Yerushalayim) is a museum, convention center and entertainment venue in downtown Jerusalem.[1] The museum's construction was controversial due to its intrusion into the Mamilla Cemetery, a centuries-old Muslim burial site.[2]
