Haifa City Museum

The Haifa City Museum opened in 2000 in a Templers' building that was once the community center of the historic German Colony, Haifa.[1]

The 1869 building is among the earliest Templer buildings in Israel.[1][2] The adjacent school building was erected in 1902.[1] Both buildings now house the City Museum.[1]

In 2011, the museum held an exhibit entitled "War of the Languages," commemorating the centennial of the founding of the Technion. The name of the exhibit, curated by Svetlana Reingold, was taken from the so-called War of the Languages, a "war" fought with words over the question of whether the new Technion would teach its students in Hebrew or in German, then the language of the world's leading scientific universities and research.[3]
