Israeli National Maritime Museum

The museum showcases maritime heritage across three floors, containing exhibitions about ancient ships, navigation tools, and Mediterranean trade routes through the ages.

Founded in 1953 from Aryeh Ben-Eli's private collection, the museum moved to its current location near Mount Carmel in 1972 through international donations.

The institution features nine primary exhibitions, including collections of ancient maps, archaeological discoveries, and artifacts from Phoenician, Greek, and Roman periods.

Located between Stella Maris and Bat Galim neighborhoods, the museum offers educational programs and houses the Marine Workshop for professional diving services.

The museum displays the Athlit Ram, a bronze warship ram from the 2nd century BC, discovered during marine excavations along the Israeli coast.
