Tveria is a city with a rich history on the shores of Lake Kinneret, which attracts lovers of culture, archaeology and military memory. Here, museum spaces are organically inscribed in the landscape of Galilee: from coastal expositions to memorials, each museum tells its living history and makes travel around the region rich and emotional.
In Tiberias and the surrounding area there are several unique museums, each with its own theme and rare exhibits. The Anchor Museum, also known as the Kinneret Fisheries History Museum, houses large collections of anchors, fishing equipment and gives you an idea of the centuries-old marine culture of the modern lake; it was created at the village of Ein Gev and is located right by the water. The Museum of Heroism of the Golani Division, located in the area of Tiberias and at the crossroads of Golan, is dedicated to the history of the brigade and contains rare military relics, photographs and personal belongings of fighters that help to understand its role in the history of the region. The Museum of Yarmoukian Culture on the banks of Kinneret displays archaeological finds of the early Neolithic culture first discovered in Shaar HaGolan: pottery, tools and fragments of everyday life that are rarely found in other collections. There are also small ethnographic and archaeological expositions in the surrounding area, telling about life in the Galilee for thousands of years.
The museum poster of Tiberias is diverse: it regularly hosts temporary exhibitions, seasonal projects and imported expositions from other regions, as well as thematic events dedicated to maritime culture and military history. The city often organizes educational programs, lectures and thematic excursions for families and schoolchildren; in summer and during the tourist season, there are especially many special events dedicated to archaeology and local traditions. Keep an eye on the posters and official announcements of museums, so as not to miss the rare exhibitions and temporary projects that periodically bring unique collections.

The best way to see the main thing and learn little-known facts is to order excursions with private guides: they will make a convenient route, tell you the optimal time to visit and make walks around museums really exciting. Plan your trip in advance, book a tour and discover Tiberias from a new side.
