It is a lovely place to spend a sunny day, with good collections of ancient pottery, glass and iron works integrated with design works, photography and art exhibition. Outside there are representations of ancient farming tools and methods of production such as olive oil and wine. A well situated cafe may help the visitor to rest a while.

I can't believe I hardly visited here ever. Very interesting exhibitions. The biannale for craft & design is of international quality - and their guided tour was excellent. Highly recommended.
Great museum, I love the Ceramic Pavillion. nice archeological collections. Now there's a great Bianalle
Nice for a 3 hour outing with older kids.
Great museum. Covid19 compliant. Parts are outside so come prepared for some hot spots in the summer. Parking costs 25 Nis. Amazing gift shop. Cafe has outdoor seating with fans and waiters.
Lots of unique artifacts and archaeological site. I especially liked the recreation of the 4 room house and public market, the first of either I had seen after 2.5 years in Israel, after visiting so many ruins.
For Archeology lovers I can't think about any other place where you can understand the name of the city Tel Aviv. Coming to the museum you may follow the instructions if the map you receive. Like that you will not get lost, or miss some of the buildings. I did the first time, trying to get first to the Tel Qasile. Fürst settled by the Philistines in the 12 cent. Which brings us to the story if the Exodus and the Hebrew Bible (OT) but it was only the beginning of a line if settlements. Four shrines, public buildings...It is hard to understand what belonged to what, and when. But is it really important. For me it is more that I walk through history. Biblical Archeology and... People lived here, build here and still building. The contrast can't be more amazing, looking over the ruins towards the New City Tel Aviv. The name comes from the book Old Land-New Land. Well here it is the old tell and the new City. Aviv in hebrew spring. A symbol for fresh, young, new. Wine press, olive press, flour mill, traditional work tools...all this we see all over the country on different places. But it is most not complete. So nice to see it in working condition to be able to understand archeological sites. Coins, postal service, some modern art. Enough information but not overwhelmed by to much. I like the place. Also that there is a need to step out of the building to reach the next place. If you have enough time, I think it is nice to visit the museum. Easy to reach with the public bus.
There's a new exhibition for kids (although at a late hour: opens only at 6:30 PM), called \Creatures of Midsummer Nights\. It's ok.. nothing more than that. For a one time visit it's recommended, but don't expect to much interaction or enjoyment.
