Museum of Antiquities

The Museum of Antiquities is located in Kidumim Square in an old house built in the 18th century during the Ottoman Empire. There are a huge number of archaeological finds from the time of Ramses II to the present day. Thanks to these artifacts, the museum exposition tells about the history of the ancient settlement of Jaffa, which is mentioned in the Bible as the city of Joppa.

Tools, dishes, jewelry, household utensils, lamps and many other finds help visitors to imagine outstanding events and epochs associated with the development of the Jewish people. The museum was founded by Dr. Kaplan, an archaeologist who led the archaeological work in Jaffa.
