VISITING BETH HATEFUTSOTH or DIASPORA MUSEUM, TEL AVIV (22nd JANUARY, 2010). Sorry Friends No Photographs To Upload-Blame Me!

It is said that Israel has more museums per capita than any other country in the world. Some of world's best museums related with bible, archaeology and history of Jewish people are in Israel.  However, I personally don't prefer visiting museums in Israel for the purpose of blogging; just for the simple reason that almost all of them won't allow you to photograph inside the museum! Exceptions are always there and one such is 'Beth Hatefutsoth'/'Nahum Goldmann Museum of Jewish Diaspora' or simply the 'Diaspora Museum' in Tel Aviv.

Established in 1979, the 'Diaspora Museum' exhibits the life and culture of Jews exiled for 2000 years in different countries with the help of models, films, recordings, and a wide variety of exhibits. The museum is one of the best resources that explains Jewish Diaspora in the most simple and entertaining way. Yes, photography was allowed at least informally inside the museum. I was busy visiting various pavilions with a good mood to share what I learned with you. Tell you what happened, something of this sort has never happened with me. Unfortunately, I deleted the folder with all photographs taken from Diaspora Museum permanently from my camera; without even realizing that I didn't have a backup! Sorry folks, for time being no uploads from Diaspora Museum. May be, if time permits I will try to visit the museum again and be back. Till then I am just sharing the itinerary, and you can go through the museums official link:
