Beit Ussishkin Nature Museum, Natural history museum in Dan, Israel.
Beit Ussishkin Nature Museum is a natural history museum in Dan housed in a stone building. Visitors encounter collections of stuffed animals and three-dimensional displays representing the landscapes of the Galilee, Golan, and Hermon regions.
The museum was founded in 1955 to document the wildlife of the Hula wetlands before they were drained for development. The collection began as the landscape underwent major transformation through drainage projects.
The museum displays archaeological finds from Tel Dan that show how people lived and worked in this region long ago. The artifacts reveal details about ancient crafts, trade, and daily routines.
The museum is open Sunday through Thursday from 8 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. Weekend visits on Friday and Saturday require advance arrangement with the facility.
The building serves as both the northern starting point and southern endpoint of the Israel National Trail. This hiking route stretches over 1000 kilometers across the country.
