We know, we know. Why would you want to be indoors when there are hundreds of Independence Day parties happening all around Israel? While Tel Aviv street parties are all the rave, Haifa reminds locals and tourists alike that there is more to celebrate than goldstar and Tubi chasers. On May 2, starting at 10:00 am, Haifa’s most culturally diverse museums in Israel will be open to the public for (almost) free. Even the few places that charge NIS 10, are well worth the chump change. Take the morning to appreciate some art...you can always get drunk later.

Haifa museums to visit this Independence Day
Located in the home of Mané Katz, one of the most important artists of the Paris School in the early 20th century, the museum offers a grand view of the Haifa Bay. Its collection consists of hundreds of Katz’s oil paintings, gouache, pastels, sketches, and sculptures.
