"Between the Mountain and the Sea" is the first exhibition presented at the Museum in homage to the city of Haifa. The exhibition conducts a virtual dialogue between contemporary art and historical photographs taken in Haifa, most notably at the beginning of the 20th century. The personal biographies of the participating artists are all intertwined with the history of the city.
The exhibition also includes photographs of the German Colony and the community center building currently undergoing restoration, as well as late 19th and early 20th century postcards from private collections.
