“A Heart-breaking and insightful experience.”
It's a Holocaust Museum. Those are rarely happy places, but the beautiful architecture and unique set-up create an informative and immersive experience that everyone visiting Jerusalem should take part in.
“Sad and Beautiful place”
We come here for a park around the Museum. A lot of fresh air (it's a mountain with the pine forest) and many interesting sculptures and monuments around.
