Founded in 1953 in northern Tel-Aviv, the Eretz-Israel Museum is the third largest museum in Israel. It covers an area of 20 acres and includes even an archaeologist site (Tel Qasile).
Its 15 buildings exhibit a wide array of exhibitions. The most interesting for history and archaeology buffs would be:
The Kadman Numismatic Pavilion – An exhibit of one of the second biggest numismatic collection in Israel, set in chronological order, from pre-coins barter system to 19th bank notes from Palestine.
The exhibit follows the development of local pottery making, from prehistorical times to the Ottoman period, and its cultural context.
These include two rare mosaic floors of a Jewish and a Samaritan Synagogue from the Byzantine period.
Visiting the Eretz-Israel Museum
The Eretz-Israel Museum is open Monday to Saturday. Touring the museum can be a nice cultural break from the bustling streets of Tel-Aviv, and can be combined with other museums in northern Tel-Aviv, such as the Palmach Museum, the Rabin Center and the Diaspora Museum (Beit Hatfutsot).
We can offer a guided tour of the Museum, and Tel Qesile, as part of a guided day tour to Jaffa and Tel-Aviv.
