At the foot of the gardens lies the German Colony, with shops, galleries and restaurants in 19th-century buildings. Haifa is home to two of the most important museums in Israel, the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art, and Israel National Museum of Science, Technology, and Space. In 2005, Haifa had 13 hotels with a total of 1,461 rooms. The city has a 17 kilometres (11 mi) shoreline, of which 5 kilometres (3 mi) are beaches. The restored German Colony, founded by the Templers, Stella Maris and Elijah's Cave also draw many tourists. Located in the Haifa district are the Ein Hod artists' colony, where over 90 artists and craftsmen have studios and exhibitions, and the Mount Carmel national park, with caves where Neanderthal and early Homo Sapiens remains were found.
