The Museum of Holography traveling exhibition was based on the Museum's Inaugural exhibition of the same name. Over 300,000 visitors saw the show during its 11-week stay, breaking the Israel Museum's attendance records.

"Tachlil" (holography) became the newest addition to the Hebrew lexicon when the word was chosen in an official contest inspired by the exhibition. HOLOGRAPH I, a white light transmission hologram by Israeli kinetic artist Yaacov Agam was included in the show as an added feature.

The exhibition was produced and circulated by Paul D. Barefoot, Holophile. Inc.
