Archaeological Museum of the Period of King Herod the Great

The Archaeological Museum is located in the Jewish Quarter, in the Old Town area. This cultural monument presents archaeological finds from the period of King Herod the Great.

After the Six Day War, excavations were carried out in Jerusalem. In the Jewish Quarter, ruins of once rich buildings dating back to the reign of Herod the Great were found. Over the found buildings, a museum was created, in which unique finds are presented.

The interior of the Archaeological Museum helps to imagine the life of those times. To learn about the reign of King Herod, you can consult a guide or purchase special headphones for listening to information. Visitors are also given the opportunity to watch a slideshow of photos about the important period of Jerusalem. The Archaeological Museum is open from Sunday to Thursday from 09:00 to 17:00, and also on Friday from 09:00 to 13:00. Those who wish can buy souvenirs sold nearby.
