Hecht Museum, Archaeological museum at University of Haifa, Israel
The Hecht Museum contains exhibits from the Chalcolithic to Byzantine periods, including ancient tools, pottery, coins, weights, seals, and jewelry from Temple Mount excavations.
Reuben Hecht established this museum in 1984 after collecting archaeological artifacts for over sixty years to demonstrate connections between Jewish people and Israel.
The museum presents French art masterpieces from painters including Corot, Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Van Gogh, and Modigliani alongside archaeological discoveries.
The museum provides free admission and operates educational programs in archaeology, art, Bible studies, and history for students, teachers, and general visitors.
A recovered fifth-century BCE merchant vessel, known as the Maagan Michael Ship, forms part of the permanent collection within the museum walls.
