The Israel Museum is the country’s largest cultural institution, comprising several wings and large collections of art, archaeological findings and Judaica. One of the major highlights of the museum—and one of the city’s more recognizable landmarks—is the distinctly shaped Shrine of the Book, which houses many ancient manuscripts including the Dead Sea Scrolls. Nearby, lending historical context to some of these priceless manuscripts, is a definitive grand model of the Second Temple and surrounding Jerusalem neighborhoods circa 2000 years ago. The tour in the Israel Museum includes The Shrine of the Book, the Second Temple Model and The Archaeology Gallery.
In the Archaeology Wing, visitors can take stock of the many cultures which called the Land of Israel home over the centuries. The objects are organized chronologically, through seven different “chapters” beginning with prehistoric finds.
