The Wave Effect - From a Japanese to Global Icon

New Exhibition

The concept of this exhibition touches on the three elements that make up the Great Wave -- wave, boats, and Mount Fuji. These elements are represented here in the works of Japanese and Israeli artists and are translated into the language of the period in which they were created. The element of the wave is examined through works in which it is a stylized force of nature, an ethereal boundary line, a metaphor for social isolation, and a representation of existential anxiety; not necessarily anxiety related to natural disasters. The element of boats between the waves is associated with works about war in Japanese art and with works dealing with personal and national assimilation in Israeli art. The element of the mountain appears in traditional Japanese works that emphasize different perspectives of the mountain, alongside Israeli artworks which express the attraction to the mountain. The exhibition also gives space to young artists who respond to the work using diverse visual means and in defiant and different ways.

Fishermen and Fish | Fishing Culture in Artifacts from the Haifa Museums Collections

New exhibition

This exhibition invites viewers to observe the environment of fishing villages, blending with the shore and the marine landscape, and to take a quick glance at the narrow streets of markets filled with fresh fish. It also introduces works depicting the world of fishermen peacefully engaged in their craft, as well as the dedication of fishermen anchored in shipyards or venturing out into the vast sea. Viewers are invited to explore different fishing experiences—whether calm, dynamic, or stormy—and to face the challenges posed by nature along with the fishermen. Other works focus on the diversity of types of fish. Finally, upon returning to the shore, one can encounter marine gatherers at work and fishermen focusing on the meticulous task of mending nets, allowing for an inward, meditative experience.
