Mishkan Museum of Art
Mishkan Museum of Art is an Israeli art museum located on the grounds of Kibbutz Ein Harod Meuhad.History
Mishkan LeOmanut was the first rural museum in Israel and the first museum run by a kibbutz. One of the kibbutz members, painter Chaim Atar, organized an "art corner" in a small wooden hut which developed into a museum specializing in the work of Jewish artists from the Diaspora and Jewish folk art. Today it is one of Israel's major art institutions.
The museum was established in 1937, first housed in a three-room wooden shed and later in a structure that became a source of inspiration for some of the 20th century's leading architects, among them Louis Kahn and Renzo Piano.
