"See Relics and the Dead Sea Scrolls As the country's largest cultural institution, the Israel Museum is ranked among the world’s leading art and archaeology museums. Founded in 1965, itpresents encyclopedic collections of international, Israeli, and contemporary art and photography,including works dating from prehistory to the present day. The museum also has the most extensive collection of biblical and Holy Land archaeology. It's perhaps best known for the Shrine of the Book—designed by Armand Bartos and Frederick Kieslerandwhich houses the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest biblical textsin the world—along with rare early medieval biblical manuscripts."

Best museum in Israel! Amazing collection. I happen to be there when it was the museum’s birthday, so it was very special. The Israel has a varied collection of international and local art with a big area of antiquities from different eras

**The museum has free parking** If you want to see the museum in depth, you need 3-4 hours. There are free guided tours on certain days of the week. There are many different guides, but I cannot recommend the highlights tour. Our guide could not answer our basic questions and the tour felt very disorganized, like she was doing it for the first time. The temporary exhibit called Lucid Dreams was quite good. The other ones were very boring. The gift shop has a very poor selection of postcards. Most of them are either 1. old, dirty, and damaged or 2. old and have nothing to do with the current art in the museum. There was only one postcard of something currently on display. The museum has a lot to offer and I enjoyed my visit. The archeology and fine arts exhibitions are similar to what you might see in famous European museums.

Out many museums in the world, this one has an impressive and wonderfully curated collection of paintings from the impressionist period to contemporary art. All works are very tastefully displayed. The building itself is piece of art. And don’t miss the sculpture garden!

This is an absolute must see venue. The expansive, well documented display cases with adequate room to comfortably view and study. This place multistory so plan on several hours of enjoyment and learning. We need to go back a second time! The mosaics are beautiful.

This was the most impressive museum we have ever been to! We enjoyed it so much we went twice during our time in Jerusalem! Thinking we were just going to see important Israeli artifacts, we were extremely surprised to see archaeological remains from around the world, painting a picture of the evolution of civilization. There were also Jewish displays of life and art, modern and contemporary art from around the world, and the most amazing outdoor display of a replica of Jerusalem’s Old City during the time of The Second Temple. The biggest treat were The Dead Sea Scrolls, which I did not know much about until seeing this exhibit. Excellent collection!

It's an amazing place! Delved not only in its own but all who inhabited and were near by. There was a great deal to see. If anything - start very early as you can be there all day! Free audio guide and roaming chairs included. Many sights/activities that are kid oriented with a neat 'Under the Ocean' themed area to make them conscious about the planet.

You will easily spend 4 hours here if you want to thoroughly see the whole museum. Content is incredible. They need longer hours, maybe switching to 24/7.

I can't believe I have lived in Israel for 27 years and it took me this long to visit this incredible museum. I felt connected to the powerful history of this important city in a way that I never had before. I needed more time to explore than I realized that I would and I will return soon.
