Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art
מוזיאון טיקוטין לאמנות יפנית
The only museum in the Middle East dedicated to Japanese art, with ukiyo-e prints, screens, netsuke and ceramics. It is located beside Louis Promenade.
The Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art was founded in 1959 by Dutch collector Felix Tikotin. Its collection of around 7,000 Japanese artworks includes ukiyo-e prints, screens, lacquerware, netsuke and contemporary design. The galleries use Japanese-style sliding doors and natural light, and there is a small Japanese garden. The museum is not large, so it is convenient to visit before or after the guided tour of the upper Bahá'í Gardens. Tickets can be combined with those for Haifa's other municipal museums.
Opening hours
Sun–Thu 10:00–16:00, Fri 10:00–13:00, Sat 10:00–15:00 (check official site)
