Eretz Israel Museum, Archaeological museum in Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel
The Eretz Israel Museum is an archaeological museum in Ramat Aviv that spans extensive grounds with twelve exhibition pavilions organized by theme. The collections feature glass, ceramics, coins, copper artifacts, and other historical objects that document different periods of the region.
The museum was founded in 1958 and encompasses the archaeological site of Tel Qasile, which contains layers representing different historical periods. The site reveals patterns of repeated settlement and cultural changes across centuries.
The Man and His Work pavilion displays traditional craftsmanship techniques such as weaving, jewelry making, and pottery that are still practiced using ancient methods. Visitors can watch artisans at work and see how everyday objects were created across generations.
The grounds are spread out across a large area, so comfortable shoes and plenty of time to visit multiple pavilions are recommended. Guided tours are available in several languages and help visitors understand the exhibits more fully.
The Kadman Numismatic pavilion houses an extensive collection of ancient coins and pre-coinage payment methods from various periods. This collection shows how people conducted trade and exchanged value across thousands of years.
