Mishkan Museum of Art
About This Museum
Nestled in the verdant Jezreel Valley, the Mishkan Museum of Art is a cornerstone of Israel's artistic heritage. It feels less like a formal institution and more like a vital part of the kibbutz Ein Harod community where it was founded. The museum's identity is deeply intertwined with its unique architectural setting, creating a dialogue between art, light, and landscape. Stepping inside, you're immediately struck by how the building itself shapes your experience of the collections.
Collection Highlights
The permanent collection is a who's who of modern Israeli art, featuring powerful works by masters like Reuven Rubin and Nachum Gutman. You'll also find a surprising and poignant collection of Jewish ceremonial objects from Europe, preserving a world lost to the Holocaust.
Visitor Information
It's open Sunday through Thursday, and there's usually no need to book ahead for a quiet visit. Keep in mind it's located on a working kibbutz, so check their website for any holiday closures or special summer hours.
Architecture & Building
Designed by Samuel Bickels, the building is a masterpiece of modernist architecture, celebrated for its iconic barrel-vaulted ceilings that flood the galleries with soft, natural light.
