Wilfrid Israel Museum

The Wilfrid Israel Museum contains artifacts from ancient Eastern civilizations, including collections from India, China, Thailand, and Cambodia, displayed in a modern building.

Founded in 1951, the museum holds the personal collection of Wilfrid Israel, who lost his life in 1943 during a mission to rescue German Jews.

The museum features three main exhibitions focusing on the Ancient Far East, Art of Ancient Near East, and regional archaeological discoveries.

Visitors can explore the museum from Sunday through Thursday between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM, with extended hours until 4:00 PM on Saturdays.

The building, designed by architect Alfred Mansfeld, integrates with the landscape of Kibbutz HaZore'a while housing rotating exhibitions of contemporary art.
