This article surveys the circumstances in which kibbutzim built museums between the 1930s and the 1960s. It focuses on the two largest kibbutz movements and their divergent attitudes to the founding of museums, to art, and to the role of artists in society. In particular, this paper examines the case history of the first art museum to be built in a kibbutz—at Ein Harod, the birthplace of the largest kibbutz movement, the Kibbutz Meuhad. This movement envisioned and promoted a “city/village” form of habitat where agriculture and industry, manual and intellectual labor could co-exist. The article’s analysis of the social construction of space shows how the dynamic network of diachronic and synchronic contexts structures the potential meaning of a particular museum, its status and eventually, its fate.

基布兹博物馆的创始背景和埃因哈罗德 Mishkan 艺术博物馆的案例

本文调查了基布兹在 1930 年代至 1960 年代之间建造博物馆的情况。它关注两大基布兹运动及其对博物馆、艺术和艺术家在社会中的作用的不同态度。特别是，本文考察了在基布兹建造的第一家艺术博物馆的案例历史——在最大的基布兹运动的发源地艾因哈罗德 (Ein Harod)，Meuhad 基布兹基布兹。这场运动设想并促进了一种“城市/村庄”形式的栖息地，在那里农业和工业、体力劳动和智力劳动可以共存。本文对空间社会建构的分析展示了历时和共时语境的动态网络如何构建特定博物馆的潜在意义、其地位以及最终的命运。
