Janco Dada Museum, Art museum in Ein Hod, Israel.
The Janco Dada Museum stands in the artists' village of Ein Hod on the Carmel ridge, about twenty kilometres south of Haifa near Road 4. Architect Moshe Zarhi designed it voluntarily as an inward-facing structure with a courtyard and entrance hall, a permanent exhibition hall, a temporary exhibition hall and open areas for performances. Its five spaces include a gallery in the arcade, a lower gallery, a pit dug beneath the museum for video art, and Marcel Janco's own studio room adjoining the building.
The museum was founded in 1983 to preserve the legacy of Marcel Janco, a Romanian-Israeli artist who contributed to establishing the Dada movement. His artistic career spanning several decades is documented through the collections.
The museum displays works by Marcel Janco alongside rotating exhibitions from international and local contemporary artists. These collections reflect the artistic diversity that shaped the space over decades.
The museum is open Monday through Saturday with limited hours, and guided tours are available in several languages. Visitors should check in advance since opening times vary and tours may focus on different topics.
The museum's lower gallery, called HaBor (the Pit), is a space dug out beneath the building and used for video art. Next to the museum stands Marcel Janco's own studio room. A research centre for Dada and contemporary art opened in the upper gallery with books and archival material from Janco's estate.
