The '''Janco Dada Museum''' is located in [[Ein Hod]], [[Israel]]. It is a [[museum]] that exhibits the work of [[Marcel Janco]] as well as [[art]] from the [[Dada]] movement and [[contemporary art]] . 

The museum was established in 1983, by a group of [[Marcel Janco]]'s friends, with the purpose of conserving the works and ideas of the sole [[Dadaist]] living in [[Israel]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ein-hod.org/en/museum.asp?Language=1&PageID=8&ParentID=0 |title=Ein Hod Artists Village Official Site.

Janco, who immigrated to [[Mandatory Palestine|Palestine]] in 1941, described himself as a romantic. In his eyes,  [[Ein Hod]] was the perfect location  for an  artists' village,  in the midst of nature, on the site of a deserted village, without electricity, water or roads. <ref>[https://www.haaretz.com/2012-02-19/ty-article/forgotten-artwork-by-one-of-the-fathers-of-the-dada-movement-restored-to-life-in-israel/0000017f-da74-dea8-a77f-de76b8550000 Forgotten artwork by one of the fathers of the Dada movement]</ref>
