Civilization Museum in Herzliya

Civilization Museum in Herzliya, Local museum and heritage site in Herzliya, Israel.

Beit Rishonim, the Museum of Herzliya's History, occupies the home of Sarah and Baruch Chizik, Second Aliyah pioneers who donated it to the city. Exhibition rooms show a film and slides of Herzliya's first years, founded in 1924, and a statue of Benjamin Ze'ev Herzl stands on the balcony, modelled on his photograph overlooking Basel from the Three Kings Hotel.

The museum opened in 1988 in the house of Sarah and Baruch Chizik, members of the Second Aliyah, who donated the building to the Herzliya municipality. It documents the city's first years from its founding in 1924, and its computerised archive of the city's history is maintained by volunteers who live in Herzliya.

The museum is named after Herzliya's first settlers, the "Rishonim", and its displays follow the figure of Benjamin Ze'ev Herzl, for whom the city is named. On the balcony stands a statue of Herzl modelled on the famous photograph of him looking out from the balcony of Basel's Hotel Les Trois Rois. Volunteers who live in Herzliya maintain the computerised archive of the city's history.

The museum occupies the former home of Sarah and Baruch Chizik, a building donated to the Herzliya municipality, with a botanical garden of trees brought to the country by the family's agronomist father. An auditorium on the grounds hosts lectures, and the garden is used for sports, cultural activities and other events. Guided tours for the city's school pupils run within the curriculum programme "My Settlement".

On the museum balcony stands a statue of Benjamin Ze'ev Herzl modelled on the famous photograph of him looking out from the balcony of the Three Kings Hotel in Basel. The museum also keeps a computerised archive of Herzliya's history, maintained by volunteers who live in the city.
