13. In cooperation with Haifa Municipality, Mizpor Shalom came into existence in 1978. Gently landscaped on a hillside, the sculpture garden commands a panoramic view of the great harbor, and beyond it the Mediterranean Sea. Situated near the imposing Baha'i Temple in Haifa, Mizpor Shalom is a small green and bronze jewel of a place.The Peace Park is a garden in which 29 art works are installed. The life-size and life like sculptures were created by Ursula Malbin. Her sculptures are representing children, young men, women and animals, marked by excellent craftsmanship, imbued with a serene buoyancy and set off by an occasional touch of humor.
