Best places: History museums in Israel

Historic, expansive model replicating how Jerusalem looked during the time of Jesus.

👍 Lovely spot. Interesting ruins. Run by the Franciscan monks. General lack of accurate interpretive information. Pay toilet only.

Medieval citadel on the site of forts dating back 2,000 years & a museum of Jerusalem's history.

👍👍 Farm that once belonged to the Dubrovin family who settled in one of the worst Malaria-infected swamp regions of Israel (then under British mandate) and refused to quit working the land, despite the harsh conditions. Today a nice little museum, open all week, free on Fridays and Saturdays (but only...

👍👍 To see what the Israeli people have done to preserve this boat and then help secure it away from the Vatican was incredible. The boat is nothing but the significance is amazing. How more people don’t come I can’t understand…it was truly a great experience

Opened in 1949, this museum focuses on the Holocaust & Jewish heroism, with exhibits & guided tours.

This museum features exhibits on the history of the Jewish Yishuv defense force.

👍👍 Of great national historical value. Describing the first 3 waves of Aliya and the support of De Rothschild

Museum showcasing the history of the Israeli navy, with a variety of decommissioned vessels.

👍👍 We attended the Shavuot event. Great experience for the family.

Museum where Jewish independence was declared in 1948, with exhibits on this event & city history.

😠 If the Palestinians opened a 'museum' for every time their home, village, town, land was decimated or taken away by the Israelis then lordy... we'd have a lot more museums like this one

👍👍 Pure Jewish Soul Art and Judaica 💫💟

👍👍 The Chamber of the Holocaust is located on Mt. Zion, beneath the Diaspora Yeshivah main building. It is a place to go to remember the great tragedy that the German people and its willing acomplises such as Poland and other Eastern European countries perpetrated onThe Jewish People. This was the firs...

The lives of Old Yishuv residents are highlighted through artifacts displayed in this ancient home.

👍 Walking through the Safed alleys to Beit Meiri, we already felt that we had "returned in time" to the clear air, the integrated stones and the small balconies. We were in a 2nd grade school. We went through 3 stations: Sofer Setam (Torah books, tefillin and mezuzah), then the study "in a room" was p...

👍👍 Again, as in many places, a small museum with a big story, the story of Tel Mond, which was established between Petah Tikva and her room by the Zionist entrepreneur Alfred Mond (Lord Meltz Mond). The story of Tel Mond, the citrus colony established in 1929 by Alfred Mond, who founded a group of sett...

👍👍 Interesting place to bring the family to learn about early life in Israel. Set-up 10 years before the creation of the state. A kibbutz complete with houses people and an armory. The armory was only rediscovered 20 years ago and is an amazing place to experience.
