Eretz Israel Museum

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:39:40

Incorporating the archeological excavations of Tel Qasile, an ancient port city dating from the 12th century BCE, this museum sports a huge and varied range of exhibits and deserves at least half a day of your time. Sights include pavilions filled with glass and coins, a reconstructed flour mill and olive-oil plant, an ethnography and folklore collection, and a garden built around a gorgeous Byzantine bird mosaic. A planatarium is among the other attractions.
