Ein Harod Art Museum

Mishkan Museum of Art (Mishkan LeOmanut) is an Israeli art museum located on the grounds of Kibbutz Ein Harod Meuhad.

History

Mishkan LeOmanut was the first rural museum in Israel and the first museum run by a kibbutz. One of the kibbutz members, painter Chaim Atar, organized an "art corner" in a small wooden hut which developed into a museum specializing in the work of Jewish artists from the Diaspora and Jewish folk art. [1] [2][1] Today it is one of Israel's major art institutions.[2]
