Israel Defense Forces History Museum, Military museum in Tel Aviv, Israel
The Israel Defense Forces History Museum is a military museum in Tel Aviv displaying weapons, vehicles, uniforms, and personal items spanning different time periods. The collection traces the development of armed forces through documents, photographs, and equipment from distinct eras.
The museum was founded in 1959 and documents the transformation from underground organizations during the British Mandate period to the modern Israeli military. It showcases critical changes in strategy and equipment across several decades.
The museum displays items that show how military service shapes Israeli life and identity across generations. Visitors see personal objects and stories that reveal the significance of this service in people's everyday experiences.
The museum is located in southern Tel Aviv near the former Jaffa Railway Station and is accessible by public transportation or car. Guided tours are available, and researchers can access archival materials on-site.
The museum is expanding to a new location at Latrun to provide more exhibition space and interactive displays. The new facility will present military strategies and operations using modern technology and expanded collections.
