Haifa
Founded in 1959 by art collector Felix Tikotin, this small, low-lit gallery immerses visitors in the sensory qualities of Japanese art. A visit here is best suited to Japanese art aficionados, though its 19th-century hanging scrolls, glazed bowls and calligraphy create a calming change of pace compared to Haifa's other major museums.
The upper floor has a pleasant canteen selling homemade cakes.
