Tei-Hai Industrial Park,
near Kiryat Shemona,
Hula Valley

Located in the northern Hula Valley and situated throughout the Tel-Hai Industrial park (which is surrounded by layers of visible basalt rock) the sculptures on site were created by eleven prominent Jewish and Arab sculptors who work in basalt thus reflecting the locality. The sculptures, ranging from traditional to abstract and conceptual works, are sited in the vicinity of the "Sculpture Mount" surrounding historic Tel-Hai. According to the museum, “the resulting assemblage of works also gives expression to the dialogue between Jews and Arabs, both in terms of the makeup of this group of artists and in terms of the subjects they address.”

Tel-Hai is one of three Open Museums (including Tefen and Omer) and an additional sculpture garden Dalton located within industrial parks conceived by Stef Wertheimer. For an overview of the entire project visit: www.iparks.co.il/default.aspx
