Museum of Israel

The Israel Museum is a grand museum complex, one of the leading museums of archaeology and art in the world. The museum opened in 1965. In 2010, the reconstruction and modernization of the buildings of the complex was completed.

The museum consists of several departments: Bezalel Arts Department, Bronfman Archaeology Department, Judaica and Jewish Ethnography Department, Art Garden, Book Temple and Youth Department. The complex has a rich collection of exhibits - more than 500,000 items, including the Dead Sea Scrolls (stored in the Temple books), various archaeological finds from all periods of Israel's history, materials about the traditions and holidays of the Jewish people. The Museum’s Art Garden houses about fifty works by contemporary sculptors from Europe, America and Israel (among them are the famous works of Rodin, Picasso, Turrel and others). Special attention should be paid to the department created specifically for children and young people. There are classes for creativity, lecture halls and a library, film screenings and exhibitions for the whole family.

The Israel Museum is a unique place, a concentration of cultural achievements, a globally recognized source of cultural values of Israel, the Middle East and the whole world.
