Independence Hall

Independence Hall is a museum in Tel Aviv housed in a restored residential building with white walls. The space displays exhibitions featuring photographs, documents, and objects that document the establishment of the State of Israel.

The building was constructed in 1930 as the residence of Meir Dizengoff, Tel Aviv's first mayor, and became the site of Israel's Declaration of Independence in 1948. This transformation from private home to historical landmark marks a turning point in the nation's story.

The space bears the name of the nation whose founding happened here, and its rooms display personal belongings and documents from that era. Visitors see the everyday items and papers that occupied people's minds at that moment.

The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, with groups requiring advance registration. Visitors should set aside time to explore the rooms thoroughly, as they contain many details worth observing.

The main hall preserves its original 1948 furnishings, including the table and chairs used during the signing of the Declaration of Independence. These pieces remain in their original positions, allowing visitors to connect directly with that moment.
