Nahum Gutman Museum of Art, Art museum in Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv, Israel.
The Nahum Gutman Museum of Art in Neve Tzedek houses an extensive collection of works by the artist Nahum Gutman, featuring paintings, drawings, and sculptures. The exhibitions display Israeli landscapes and urban scenes from different time periods.
The museum occupies a building constructed in 1887 that served as a literary hub and home to renowned writers from 1907 to 1914. The structure was later restored and opened as a museum in 1998 to preserve Gutman's artistic legacy.
The building is called the Writers' Home because it housed authors such as Devorah Baron, Yosef Aharonovich, Asher Beresh and Yehuda Burla, and from 1907 to 1914 it was the office of the HaPoel HaTzair newspaper edited by Yosef Haim Brenner. Gutman's studio was recreated in one of the museum's rooms from items brought from his own studio.
The museum occupies the 1887 Writers' Home, one of the first buildings of Neve Tzedek, renovated in 1992 by architect Roni Zaibert. A wing opened in September 2009, named for Mori and Ireen Pargament, holds an extra gallery, an events hall for about 70 people and a gift shop. Exhibits are changed every few months, and drawing workshops with live models are held for professionals and amateurs, with materials supplied.
The museum opened in May 1998 after the building was included in Tel Aviv's preservation programme and renovated by architect Roni Zaibert. Gutman's family donated his works and many items from his studio, which was recreated in one of the museum's rooms. In September 2009 a new wing named after Mori and Ireen Pargament added a gallery, an events hall for about 70 people and a gift shop.
