Bialik House Upon arriving at the gates of the Bialik House, you join generations of returning visitors and are drawn to the residence of the National Poet, from the inauguration of the place in 1925 to this day.
For about eight years, during which Bialik lived here with his wife Mania and her parents, the place served as an inspiring cultural center for writers, artists, scholars and public leaders - and at the same time a center of pilgrimage for all people, who constantly addressed the poet with a variety of questions and requests , In the realms of spirit and action alike.
The Bialik House was designed by architect Yosef Minor; And in the current restoration of the house, the original colorful colors and spectacular decorations are revealed again (after many years of coverage).
