    The Haifa Museum of Art, is dedicated to exploring the arena of local and international contemporary art. The Haifa Museum of Art was founded in 1951, and was inaugurated with an exhibition in homage to Marc Chagall. Since 1977, it has been operating at its current location – a unique stone building designated for preservation, which was built during the 1930s as a high school. The building’s historical importance derives from its topographic location on the southern border of Wadi Nisnas. Situated at the intersection of the city’s diverse communities, the Museum is surrounded by Jewish, Muslim and Christian neighborhoods; it has thus come to function as an intercultural bridge, which reflects the city’s unique urban and social texture. The Museum’s collection, which is considered to be one of the finest art collections in Israel, includes over 7,000 works (paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs and prints) from various periods in Israeli art
