At that time, the swamps of the Hula Valley were being drained, and nature experts were concerned about losing the native wildlife in the Hula wetlands. The museum treasures a vast collection of stuffed mammals, amphibians, reptiles, insects, poultries, birds, and fish of the region. It also displays much of the region’s flora. Many of these animals can be seen again in the reflooded Hula Lake Park. The museum also presents some of the archaeological discoveries made at Tel Dan. The museum also offers an audiovisual show and professional guided tours.
