Palestine Museum of Natural History

The Palestine Museum of Natural History holds collections of plants, animals, and insects while maintaining a botanical garden and wildlife rehabilitation center.

Founded in 2013 through a combined funding of $700,000 from private donors and Bethlehem University, the museum opened its doors to visitors in 2017.

The museum exhibits traditional agricultural tools, native seeds, and farming equipment that reflect Palestinian environmental practices through generations.

Located within Bethlehem University campus, the museum operates continuously throughout the week and employs both Palestinian and Israeli staff members.

The research facility maintains records of freshwater snails and insect species specific to Palestine, contributing to regional biodiversity documentation.
