Not far from the Bahá’í Gardens is Mitzpor Shalom, the Peace Park, which contains 29 life-size and life like sculptures of children, young men, women and animals by Ursula Malbin. This is said to be the first open-air sculpture garden in the world devoted entirely to the works of an individual female artist.
Malbin was born in Berlin and trained as a cabinetmaker. In 1939, she fled the Nazis to Switzerland, where she studied sculpting. In 1966 while visiting Israel, she bought an old house in Ein-Hod, the artists village about 12 miles south of Haifa. In 1978, she gifted her bronze works to the city of Haifa and they were placed in Mitzpor Shalom overlooking the harbor.
Other pieces by Malbin can be found in private and public gardens, schools and institutional buildings in Switzerland and North America. She died in 2020 at age 103.
The park is located at the intersection of Zionism Boulevard and Second in November Street.
