Visit the elaborately decorated and colorful house of Israel's most highly acclaimed poet, Haim Nachman Bialik, which is appropriately situated on Bialik Street 

Haim Nachman Bialik, an extraordinarily talented poet and writer, is Israel's National Poet. In his writings, Bialik managed to express the voice of the post-enlightenment generation on one hand and articulate the sentiments of human existence on the other. He lived in the in Tel Aviv before the state of Israel was even established and helped lay the foundations of Hebrew Literature in Israel.   
  
The Bialik House was built in 1927 and served as home to Haim Nachman Bialik and his wife Mania until Bialik's death after an unsuccessful operation. The architect of the house was influenced by Islamic architectural style, which is reflected in the impressive decorations dominating the house and the colorful colors. The house finnaly reopened to the public in 2008, after over five years of renovations, which undid earlier renovations that were conducted during the 1980's and restored the house's original appearance. The house itself contains books, letters and works given to Bialik by Israel's finest artists and a special children's room which offers activities for children related to Bialik's well known nursery rhymes.
