Haifa, the "Gate to the East"

The exhibition displays rare graphic materials, most of which are presented to the public for the first time: historical maps, handwritten drafts of maps using pencils and colors, and plans created by the architect and cartographer Gottlieb Schumacher (1857-1925). Also exhibited photographs taken by Schumacher and his team, which documented the survey and mapping expedition of the Levant during the Ottoman empire era.
