Nahum Gutman Museum of Art

The Nahum Gutman Museum is devoted to one of Israeli culture's most beloved figures — a painter, author and illustrator who chronicled old Tel Aviv and the landscapes of the land in warm colours and a clean, childlike spirit. The museum is housed in a restored historic stone building on Rokach Street, one of Neve Tzedek's oldest lanes.

Why here, of all places

There is something fitting in the fact that Gutman's museum sits in the very neighbourhood he so loved to paint. The visit is short and light — just the right size — and leaves you feeling you have met another, slower era of the city.

It is a perfect stop to fold into a walk through the neighbourhood — close to the spa, close to the Suzanne Dellal Centre, and small enough to fit in before or after a treatment.
