Ein Hod
עין הוד
An artists' village on the western slope of Mount Carmel, with galleries, studios and a Dada museum scattered along stone-house lanes, and sea views.
Ein Hod was founded in 1953 by Dada artist Marcel Janco. Over a hundred artists live here, and the stone alleys hold pottery, sculpture, jewelry and painting studios. Visitors can tour the Janco-Dada Museum and a folk musical instrument museum, or join hands-on workshops. The village sits among olive groves on the hillside and offers views of the Mediterranean. Markets and performances are often held on weekends. It is about 20 km from Haifa and requires a car or taxi.
