The photos are part of a collection belonging to the Open Museum, a unique project that combines industry, art and heritage. There are three Open Museums in Israel, situated in the Tefen, Tel-Hai and Omer industrial parks.

Their location on the periphery, in the Galilee and in the Negev, is not coincidental; it is based on the belief long-held by industrialist Stef Wertheimer, founder of both the industrial parks and the museums, that Israel must strive for equilibrium between the central region and the periphery.
