The gallery is housed in a 130-year-old pioneer house, which was the home of Shura and Shalom Fine – members of the founding family of Metula.

​

The gallery combines past and present, art and local history, and presents exciting exhibitions, including "The Shoemaker" – a family story from the Holocaust era, and "Fine Dynasty" – a visual documentation of a pioneer family of the builders of the land.

​

Alongside these, permanent and rotating exhibitions by fiber artist Myriam Hod are displayed, in which thread, color, light, and material are woven together into a unique artistic language inspired by the landscapes of the Upper Galilee and childhood memories.

​

This is a place where the family and national stories are intertwined – an intimate space of memory, inspiration, and beauty in the heart of Metula.

​

The gallery also screens two rare and exclusive documentary films for the guests of "Hod Rishonim" and "Beit Shalom":

​

"A Quarter to Eight" – a rare historical film in which Major General Motti Hod, a member of the family, describes how he led the Israeli Air Force to victory in the Six-Day War. Through the testimonies of Ezer Weizman, Ran Ronen, and Ariel Sharon, the code that turned three hours into the fate of a nation is revealed. The film was never screened on television, and was granted to Beit Shalom courtesy of Pnina Hod, Motti Hod's wife.

​

"Fine Dynasty" – an award-winning documentary film screened at the Docaviv 2018 festival, which tells the story of the Hod-Fine family – from the first settlers in Metula to the young generation grappling with questions of roots, identity, and a dream. It is a human, poetic, and poignant journey about the love of the land, the cost of the path, and the connection between a person and a place.
