Visitor Center, Mitzpe Revivim was founded in 1943 as part of a plan to establish 12 research stations in the Negev to examine settlement prospects in this uninhabited region.

The museum was established in order to fulfill one man`s dream. Gideon Friedman wanted to build an Israeli home and the right stage for glass art in Israel. Each visitor to the museum is invited into the artist`s inner world. Every person exhibiting in the museum takes a part in Gideon`s vision, adds his own vision and world view and together they pave the way toward the same dream.
