The Mishkan Museum of Art started out in 1937 in a small wooden shack used as the atelier of Kibbutz Ein Harod member, the painter Haim Atar (1902-1953) – the museum’s visionary and founder. The museum collection includes the estates of Haim Atar, Miron Sima, Meira Shemesh and Meir Agassi, as well as the estates of other artists significant to Jewish and Israeli art. The museum regularly displays exhibitions by young artists and projects that afford innovative and extraordinary experiences.
