The museum in the heart of the artists' village of Ein Hod stands as a key cultural landmark. It houses four exhibition halls, each offering a different artistic experience. One hall is dedicated to the enduring works of Marcel Janco, a celebrated artist and a pioneer of Dadaism, showcasing his contributions to the art world.
The gallery actively promotes the works of up-and-coming artists and hosts various unique projects, making it a dynamic space for art enthusiasts. The lower hall is specially dedicated to contemporary and avant-garde art, providing a distinctive and immersive experience for visitors.
An art workshop within the museum offers a rare glimpse into the artistic process, allowing visitors to engage directly with the creative journey. A notable feature of the museum is a fragment of the Berlin Wall displayed prominently outside, representing a symbol of freedom and the breaking down of barriers.
Marcel Janco, born in Bucharest, fled to British Palestine in 1941 to escape the fascist regime in Romania. By then, he had already established himself as a prominent artist and writer and was recognized as one of the founders of the Dada movement. The museum not only exhibits his works but also stands as a testament to his lasting impact and legacy in the world of art.
The streets of the artists' village of Ein Hod, strewn with autumn leaves, have a unique charm. Slightly worn by time, curvilinear and genuinely charming, they are shrouded in an atmosphere of kindness. Walking from the museum of Janko Dada, the founder of Dada, to the bronze sculptures of Benjamin Levi, you are greeted at every step by art in the most unexpected manifestations. This village has experienced a lot: from liveliness to decline, when houses stood empty, to its rebirth. The walls of its houses are mute witnesses of eras, cultures, the change of the Arab population by the descendants of Saladin's troops to Jewish Dada artists. The stones of these walls contain stories ranging from the times of the Crusaders, through the Arab heritage, to the Jewish restoration.
Today, sculptors, designers, musicians, architects, actors, singers, poets, jewelers, and potters live and work in Ein Hod. Many of them invite visitors to their workshops, organizing master classes and exhibitions. Ein Hod has no aspirations for high art or display of masterpieces, but there is a special atmosphere of simplicity, hospitality and pluralism, attractive in its ease and picturesqueness.
