Nahum Gutman Fountain

The Nahum Gutman Fountain is an art piece made of three pillars covered with colored mosaic tiles showing different scenes. Each pillar displays motifs relating to Tel Aviv's development and biblical narratives.

The art piece was first installed in 1967 at Bialik Square before being moved to Rothschild Boulevard in 2008. This relocation was part of a larger project to connect sites related to Tel Aviv's history together.

The mosaics show how Tel Aviv was founded and tell biblical stories that visitors can see and understand while walking past. This connection between ancient religious traditions and the city's own story is expressed through the colors and images used.

The fountain sits on Rothschild Boulevard in central Tel Aviv and is reachable by various public transportation options. The area is good for walking since it connects with other historical sites that can be explored during a visit.

Verses from the biblical books of Jeremiah and Chronicles are carved into the back of the pillars, creating a direct link between ancient texts and contemporary artistic design. These hidden inscriptions often go unnoticed even though they deepen the meaning of the entire work.
