The Janco Dada Museum in Ein Hod, Israel

The Janco Dada Museum is located in Ein Hod, Israel. It is a museum that exhibits the work of Marcel Janco as well as art from the Dada movement and contemporary art .

The museum was established in 1983, by a group of Marcel Janco's friends, with the purpose of conserving the works and ideas of the sole Dadaist living in Israel.

Janco, who immigrated to Palestine in 1941, described himself as a romantic. In his eyes, Ein Hod was the perfect location for an artists' village, in the midst of nature, on the site of a deserted village, without electricity, water or roads.
