Beit Ussishkin Nature Museum

The stone building houses exhibits of local wildlife, including collections of stuffed animals and three-dimensional displays representing the Galilee, Golan, and Hermon habitats.

The museum opened in 1955 to document and preserve the native wildlife of the Hula Wetlands during the drainage projects of that period.

The museum exhibits archaeological artifacts from Tel Dan that demonstrate the daily life patterns of ancient inhabitants in the region.

Visitors can explore the collections from Sunday through Thursday between 8:00 and 16:00, with Friday and Saturday visits requiring advance reservations.

The building marks both the northern starting point and southern endpoint of the Israel National Trail, which extends over 1000 kilometers through the country.
