Haifa City Museum

All the information about the Haifa City Museum: Join a fascinating journey at the Haifa City Museum! Come and discover the past of the historic city and the vibrant present in a museum that presents a variety of rotating and permanent exhibitions dealing with topics such as: urban life, identity, multi-nationality, inter-culturality, and more. The museum is located in the German Colony, in a stone building that was preserved and rebuilt from the ground up, which served as a community house for the German Templers, the residents of the Colony. Exhibitions currently presented: Mike Brant – To the ends of the body: a unique and rare exhibition following the story of the life of the famous singer Mike Brant (Moshe Brand), born in Haifa. The moving exhibition is built around Zvika Brant's personal archive—Mike's younger brother—and presents a collection including thousands of collectible items, items of clothing from the star's personal wardrobe, rare photos, notes written by Mike by hand, and more. Haifa Tachtit – Gil Bar: the exhibition is built from a collection of photographs focusing on abandoned and destroyed buildings and comparing them to a type of monuments in the urban landscape. The buildings tell a complex story about the forces that shaped the city's unique character, and also raise questions about its politics, its history, and the future of the city of Haifa. Between the Mountain and the Sea – the permanent exhibition: in the exhibition, the story of the city of Haifa is told through three main periods in its history: during the Ottoman period, in the days of the British Mandate, and after the establishment of the State of Israel—as a prelude to the formation of modern Haifa. The exhibition emphasizes the pluralistic nature of settlement in the area, as it was composed of people of different nationalities from distant lands, people of different religions and diverse communities that created a foundation for establishing the modern cosmopolitan city.
