Good Samaritan Museum

The Good Samaritan Museum exhibits ancient mosaics from various archaeological sites across Judea and Samaria, including synagogues, churches, and Samaritan places of worship.

Established in 2009 by the Israeli Civil Administration, the museum occupies the historic Khan al-Hatruri site, which dates back to the Second Temple period.

The museum displays artifacts that represent three distinct religious traditions: Judaism, Christianity, and Samaritan heritage, focusing on their historical interactions and cultural significance.

Visitors can explore guided tours in multiple languages, view preserved mosaics, and participate in educational programs about ancient mosaic restoration techniques.

The facility houses one of only three mosaic museums worldwide, featuring an exceptional collection from the ancient Gaza Synagogue and Mount Gerizim religious structures.
