Open Museum Tefen‏

The Open Museum Tefen is an art museum within an industrial park that brings together several collections in one location. The site includes art installations, a gallery, an automobile museum, and exhibition spaces about German-speaking Jewish history.

The museum was founded in 1985 to promote cultural development in the region and connect industrial heritage with contemporary art. Its creation reflects the transformation of an active industrial area into a cultural meeting point.

The museum preserves the history of German-speaking Jewish communities through collections that show their traditions and influence. Visitors can see how these communities shaped the culture in their adopted home.

The grounds are easy to explore on foot, and ample parking is available for drivers on site. Sturdy shoes are recommended since you will walk between the different exhibition areas.

The collection of vintage and classic vehicles shows not just engineering but also stories of the people who owned them. Many pieces are rare and provide glimpses into different chapters of automotive history.
