Fishermen and Fish | Fishing Culture in Artifacts from the Haifa Museums Collections

New exhibition

This exhibition invites viewers to observe the environment of fishing villages, blending with the shore and the marine landscape, and to take a quick glance at the narrow streets of markets filled with fresh fish. It also introduces works depicting the world of fishermen peacefully engaged in their craft, as well as the dedication of fishermen anchored in shipyards or venturing out into the vast sea. Viewers are invited to explore different fishing experiences—whether calm, dynamic, or stormy—and to face the challenges posed by nature along with the fishermen. Other works focus on the diversity of types of fish. Finally, upon returning to the shore, one can encounter marine gatherers at work and fishermen focusing on the meticulous task of mending nets, allowing for an inward, meditative experience.

Exhibitions

Community House | The Templers: Legacy and Dream

This exhibition is a showcase for artist Ossi Yalon, who has spent several years researching the long-gone community in the Land of the Bible. Her works focus on the stories of members of the community who played an important role in the history of Haifa, and left a rich and fascinating cultural impression on the city. Yalon’s art strives to revitalize the Templers’ way of life, and envisage their day-to-day routine, the cultural and social characteristics of their community, and the view they saw from their windows.

Mammals of the Deep | The Wonderful World of Marine Mammals in the Mediterranean and in the Gulf of Eilat

Exhibition opening: Friday, 04.07.25, 10:00

This exhibition is a product of this special bond between humans and nature. Specimens that indicate a highly diverse presence of marine mammals in our region have been brought to the museum for the very first time. Marine mammals of the Mediterranean and of the Gulf of Eilat, which is, in fact, an extension of the Indian Ocean, include various species of cetaceans (whales and dolphins) and one species of seal. The telltale findings that testify to their presence have been collected by a very special group of people, members of IMMRAC, who devote their time and energy to the task of studying the world of marine mammals and assisting in the protection of their habitat.
