The different peoples who lived in the region, and the empires that ruled over it, had constantly changed throughout history, and they shaped the backbone of contemporary Western culture. The peoples of the biblical lands have developed our understanding in fields of science and technology, language and writing, economics, commerce, and faith and religion as well.&nbsp;The Biblical Lands Museum invites you to explore various exhibitions through which you can get familiar with the cultures and peoples who ruled and flourished in the region – Egypt, Sumer, Babylon, Assyrian, Canaan, Persia, Greece, and Rome. The variety of ancient cultures that surrounded Israel also puts in perspective its current reality.&nbsp;The Land of Israel, and Jerusalem as its center and Capital, always served as a bridge between the great cultures of the past, and a path through which people, armies and goods, and even ideas, perceptions, and beliefs, have passed. Every culture has left its mark on our landscape, and culture, and left countless treasures underground. The museum serves the purpose of accentuating these bridges and connections throughout the history of this special region. The Biblical Lands Museum in Jerusalem invites you to join a fascinating tour that will guide us through the roots of the Israeli people, as well as the place where humanity, as we know it today, was born.<h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2>Regular Activities at the Bible Lands Museum</h2><ul><li>The Biblical Lands Museum offers daily tours in Hebrew and English.

Museum Membership

The Biblical Lands Museum in Jerusalem invites you to experience firsthand the history of ancient Middle East cultures. These cultures laid many of the foundations for the world we live in today, in a region known as the cradle of human civilization and the area in which the people of Israel first appeared and grew. 

Experience firsthand the history of the ancient Middle East cultures

Loved it because i have to confess - im history nerd and all my nerdiness needs were met. there are artefacts from 10.000 years of human evolution and israelic history on display. I loved every minute of my visit.

From the early canaan settlements over the first families to egyptian enslavement to the era of greeks and romans.

Even a statue of Ramses II is integrated in the exibition.

My advice is, you first go to the Bible Land Museum Jerusalem and than you visit the Israel Museum because the stories told in both are so well connected.

Nice and quiet as ever. A little disappointing, but understandable, that all hands on activities (and they are everywhere) are disabled. And instead t
You get a bag with all the stuff you needed when you live the museum with a kid. NB important to ask to frescoes room, it is closed as a rule, but they open it on request, and it is really good. Update! Wonderful new exposition about birds, very good art and also stupendous museum work.

If you like history, in this museum you will learn the history of the land of Jerusalem, the journey of God’s people from Genesis to today. Kings and conquerors and much more!

Very nice place for kids up to 12. They can learn a lot on Middle East hystory.
We visited it during Passover, and it was very helpful to learn on Egypt hystory.

A not so big but very interesting archeological museum. For those who like archeology - statues, mosaic, ancient artifacts. I loved it.
