Mané-Katz was an important member of the School of Paris (Ecolé de Paris) - a group of young artists, many of them Jews, who arrived in Paris from Eastern and Central Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. They changed the face of art in France between the two world wars, and quickly participated actively in the avant-garde, taking a prominent role in establishing Paris as the capital of the art world, filled with new and extraordinary creative power. The Mané-Katz Museum, located on Panorama Road overlooking the magnificent view across Haifa Bay, was opened in 1977 in the home of the artist, where he lived and created during the last years of his life. In August 2010 the Museum was integrated in the Haifa Museums complex. In November of the same year, Haifa Municipality donated some IS 250,000 for repairs and refurbishment of the building, and work commenced immediately. It is now virtually completed, and the Museum re-opens to the public on April 9th, 2011. Refurbishments include basic repairs to the exhibition spaces and infrastructure. New offices have been constructed, as well as a museum shop and a café that looks out over the magical view. These efforts have resulted in excellent exhibition spaces that permit displays of Mané-Katz's works and his collections.
