Beyt ha-Gdudim Museum

Beyt ha-Gdudim Museum is a military institution located in a settlement founded by war veterans, dedicated to modern Jewish military history. The exhibitions display weapons, uniforms, documents, and personal objects from soldiers across different periods.

Founded in 1961, the museum focuses on Jewish battalions that served in the British Army during the world wars of the 1900s. This connection to homeland defense remains the central theme of its collections.

The museum holds stories and memories of Jewish soldiers across generations of conflict. Personal items on display reveal individual experiences and connections to military service that visitors can encounter directly.

The collection is organized across several sections with weapon displays, documentary materials, and multimedia presentations to aid understanding. Guided tours are available and help visitors navigate the different areas and grasp the content.

The museum is housed in a settlement founded by soldiers who completed their service and settled in the area. This link between the place itself and its collection creates a direct tie to the history that the exhibitions tell.
