Bialik House was the house of the national poet and writer of Israel, Haim Nahman Bialik.
Nowadays the place is a museum, archive, and library.
Bialik had a strong connection to Tel-Aviv and he built his house in 1926 near the house of the municipality of Tel-Aviv then. Bialik died in 1934. In 1937 his widow decided to donate the house to The Association of Bialik House, which their job was to take care of the house. After a short time the house was renovated and the place was opened for the public.
Today the street is named after him- Bialik street, and the place holds concerts and events.
