In the world of Israeli cultural institutions, the Mane-Katz Museum in Haifa is often overlooked. A cozy collection of paintings and sculptures tucked behind the Haifa Zoo in this northern hilly Israeli city, the Mane-Katz Museum was founded by Ukraine-born artist Emmanuel Mane-Katz, who made a name for himself with his bright and colorful paintings of the Jewish ghettos of Eastern Europe.

As the United States and Europe continue to grapple with the #MeToo movement and the resounding percussion of an awakened women’s movement, at the Mane-Katz Museum, feminism and women’s bodies are being explored in a sculpture exhibit.
