Tel Aviv Museums

Eretz Israel Museum

Eretz in Hebrew means Land, in this case the land of Israel which is what this museum is all about.

What are you going to see?

This museum focuses on the history and culture of the land and has exhibits in archaeology, folklore and traditional arts and crafts.

You can learn for example how wine, oil and flour were manufactured traditionally. I have to admit that I haven’t been to this museum for a long time, but the museum keeps adding and changing exhibitions that I’m sure it is even better now than it was the last time I was there.

2 Haim Levanon St., Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv 69975

Museum of the Jewish Diaspora (Beth Hatefutsoth)

the Diaspora museum in Tel Aviv, Israel

This museum is dedicated to the story of the Jewish people since the time they got expelled from Israel 2,500 years ago and up to present time. Diaspora comes from a Greek word meaning “scattering” - and is used to describe the Jewish people that lived outside their homeland.

The museum tells the incredible story of the continuation of the Jewish people throughout that time frame. It includes exhibitions, education and provides Jewish people the option to find their roots and identity – tracing back their last name and using other techniques. When the Museum opened in 1978 it was considered ahead of its time as far as the concept of a museum is concerned. In fact, this place is far more than a museum and has tremendous impact on the lives of Jews who visit the place to find out about their heritage. It really is the Museum of the Jewish People.
