The further extension of the park began in the spring of 1997

SCULPTURE PARK VICTOR HALVANI

In cooperation with Haifa Municipality, Mizpor Shalom came into existence in 1978. Gently landscaped on a hillside, the sculpture garden commands a panoramic view of the great harbor, and beyond it the Mediterranean Sea. 

Situated near the imposing Baha'i Temple in Haifa, Mizpor Shalom is a small green and bronze jewel of a place.The Peace Park is a garden in which 29 art works are installed. The life-size and life like sculptures were created by Ursula Malbin. Her sculptures are representing children, young men, women and animals, marked by excellent craftsmanship, imbued with a serene buoyancy and set off by an occasional touch of humor. 

WE ENJOYED VERY MUCH THE SCULPTURE GARDENS
