Weizmann House, Residential museum in Rehovot, Israel.

The residence features clean lines, modern architectural elements, white walls, a central tower, and gardens with terraces that extend towards a reflecting pool.

Erich Mendelsohn designed this house in 1936 for Chaim Weizmann, who later became the first President of Israel and used it as official residence.

The museum displays the original furniture, artwork, and personal items collected by the Weizmanns during their diplomatic missions and scientific endeavors.

Visitors can access the house from Sunday to Thursday through guided tours that explain the architectural features and historical significance of each room.

The building incorporates a nautical design concept with a structure resembling a ship at sea and garden terraces flowing like ocean waves.
