As part of the museum's cultural activities, it mounts exhibitions on themes related to the city's physical and spiritual core.
Set at its heart and attentive to its different aspects, the museum opens a space for socio-political debates that emerge in the urban environment.
The museum's changing exhibits shed light on the pivotal processes and themes that have molded the image of Haifa both as a modern city as a reflection of the culture of Israel's society.
These unique exhibits engage in the singular dynamic of the city between different populations, physical spaces and social institutions that create the urban texture.
They examine the relations between the place and the community and how it could have affected the constitution of a local, national, religious or ethnic identity as well as the transferral of ideals and ideologies.
