Bet Yigʼal Alon, Heritage museum in Ginosar, Israel.
Bet Yigal Alon is a museum and educational center in Ginosar overlooking the Sea of Galilee with exhibitions on Israeli military history and regional artifacts. The building displays information about political development and objects that document life in this area across different periods.
The center was founded to honor Yigal Allon, a military commander and political leader who shaped Israel's formation from 1918 to 1980. His work influenced major decisions for the region and the country during the 20th century.
The center displays artwork by Jewish and Arab artists, reflecting the mixed heritage of the Galilee region. These collections show how different communities have lived alongside each other and expressed themselves creatively here.
The museum is open from Saturday through Thursday starting in the morning until evening, with shorter hours on Fridays. Multilingual guides are available to help visitors navigate the exhibitions.
The museum holds a 2000-year-old wooden boat from the Sea of Galilee, showing how people lived and worked on the water long ago. This vessel is one of the few surviving examples of ancient navigation in the region.
