Sculpture Garden

Sculpture Garden - Arad Itzhik Gamliel is the “metal artist” behind all the unique works prominently displayed in the Sculpture Garden. He is a multidisciplinary artist who has been involved in various fields of art for over 50 years. Itzhik never studied art. All his creative works spring forth from his innovative mind and innate talent. Some of his works include a huge fire-breathing dragon 4.5 meters high, an imposing giraffe 6 meters high, and more. His unique home recently became the number one hosting home in Israel, with the help of his wife Yaffa Gamliel. They host diverse groups of visitors. Yaffa is a talented confectioner and loves to spoil the guests with her tasty pastries. Visitors to the Sculpture Garden receive refreshments, alongside a guided art tour with humorful explanations in the scenic surroundings of the arid desert and the charming town of Arad. The tour usually takes a little over an hour.
