The exhibition of Ha-Shomer Ha-Tza'ir members in Cyprus opened in Tel-Aviv in April 1948. Prior to that event, in October 1947, the exhibition took place in the winter camp in Cyprus. When JNF people learned about the exhibition, the organizers were requested to send it to Israel. The exhibition took place concurrently with the opening of the fourth convention of Ha-Shomer Ha-Tza’ir Union in Israel, and revenues from entrance fees were transferred to JNF. The assembling of the exhibition in Tel-Aviv was done by Shraga Weil and Kalman Grochevsky who arranged the exhibition in Cyprus and immigrated to Palestine in 1947.
