Beit Avi Chai presents "The Story of Lake Hula": With aquatic plants, reeds, papyrus, fish, otters, giant buffalo, and migrating birds, Lake Hula was one of the treasures of the Land of Israel. Its wildlife, agonized demise, and recovery have turned the story of the lake into a powerful drama, reflected in 140 years of photography.

The Story of Lake Hula is an exhibition honoring Peter Merom -kibbutz member, fisherman, photographer, author of the book Song of a Dying Lake, and winner of the 2010 Israel Prize for his unique contribution to photography of the Land of Israel.
