Established in 1953, the Eretz Israel Museum in Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv is one of the finest museums to know Israel. The official website introduces itself as "a multi-disciplinary museum focusing on the history and culture of the Land of Israel through an array of extensive permanent exhibitions and temporary exhibits in archaeology, ethnography, folklore, Judaica, cultural history and local identity, traditional crafts and practical arts. The pavilions dot an expansive garden surrounding Tell Qasile, an ancient mound rich in archaeological treasures found in the heart of the museum complex. On display at the museum are reconstructed and working manufacturing installations, including wine and oil presses, a flour mill, and a “craft arcade," where one can see the traditional working tools common to the Land of Israel and the region".
Spread on 30 acres, the museum has 9 separate pavilions and 14 other sites that include a planetarium, a mosaic square and a 3000 year old multi-layered archaeological site. For more details follow the photographs below.
