Beit Shturman museum, Cultural heritage museum in Ein Harod Meuhad, Israel.
Beit Shturman Museum is a museum in Ein Harod Meuhad that documents the development of the region and its communities. It displays archaeological finds, agricultural tools, and documents from different periods of the valley's history.
The museum was founded in 1941 during the early settlement period and documents the origins of the kibbutz movement. Its collections preserve evidence from that time and show how agricultural life developed in the region.
The museum displays tools and photographs that show how people built and worked together in kibbutz communities. The collections tell the story of daily life and the practical skills that shaped these settlements.
The museum occupies a two-storey building that began as the first home of the regional school, with a wing added in 1971 by architect Shmuel Bikeles. Exhibits fill both floors and the courtyard, where the archaeological collection, a Davidka mortar, a French mountain gun and an armoured truck body are displayed. Group tours and school programmes are arranged in advance and adapted to the age of the visitors.
The museum sits within the kibbutz grounds and connects the exhibits directly to the landscape where this history unfolded. Visitors can see how the historical tools and methods were actually used in the real environment surrounding the building.
