It's a huge museum with lots to see. Fortunately there are is lot of information available on every art work and exhibition. You don't just aimlessly wonder around admiring pretty things, but actually interacting with the ideas of the artist. The guards are also all very knowledgeable!

The Israel Museum is a great destination to visit when in Jerusalem. It is a fun activity to do alone, or in a large group with other people. I would differently recommend visiting this place to anyone who is in the area. I personally enjoyed my time here.

If you are interested in how humans developed comfort in life and how the things evolved even at macroscopic level. I would highly recommend you visit the three floors museum. You can click photos but not to much. If you find yourself lost in the museum there are security people in every section of the museum. You can find some screens playing videos. There is library inside which now restricted entry due to COVID19 situation.

Love the Israel Museum. Alone, with a friend, and especially with grandchildren. Inside and outside! Highly recommend!

An art museum with historic collections, including the Dead Sea Scrolls. It has a wide range of exhibits from archeology to modern art. What was particularly memorable was its width and depth of collections: walking inside and observing the exhibits just made me feel like I am walking the story of the Scripture. Observing stones related to David and Solomon, as well as the Dead Sea Scrolls and manuscript written by Isaiah, was amazing. There are also numerous interesting monuments outside, which is also worth visiting. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Israel.

There are about 7 exhibition hall with constant and temporary exhibitions, small park, open exhibition - Jerusalem in the second Temple period and Shrine of the Book. Here is kids hall with cognitive exhibition and plays. It really doesn't many museums in Israel which have kids ground. I didn't take, but recommended take a headphones. It will make your visit interested, because almost each exhibit has audio comments. I recommended to visit museum every citizen and guest of Jerusalem.

Beautiful Museum in Jerusalem, you will get a lot of fun to visit museum The Israel Museum (Hebrew: מוזיאון ישראל\u200e, Muze'on Yisrael) was established in 1965 as Israel's foremost cultural institution and one of the world’s leading encyclopedic museums. It is situated on a hill in the Givat Ram neighborhood of Jerusalem, adjacent to the Bible Lands Museum, the Knesset, the Israeli Supreme Court, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Its holdings include the world’s most comprehensive collections of the archaeology of the Holy Land, and Jewish Art and Life, as well as significant and extensive holdings in the Fine Arts, the latter encompassing eleven separate departments: Israeli Art; European Art; Modern Art; Contemporary Art; Prints and Drawings; Photography; Design and Architecture; Asian Art; African Art; Oceanic Art; and Arts of the Americas. Among the unique objects on display are the Venus of Berekhat Ram; the interior of a 1736 Zedek ve Shalom synagogue from Suriname; necklaces are worn by Jewish brides in Yemen; a mosaic Islamic prayer niche from 17th-century Persia; and a nail attesting to the practice of crucifixion in Jesus’ time.[2] An urn-shaped building on the grounds of the museum, the Shrine of the Book, houses the Dead Sea Scrolls and artifacts discovered at Masada. It is one of the largest museums in the region. Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek was the driving spirit behind the establishment of the Israel Museum, one of the leading art and archaeology museums in the world. The Museum houses works dating from prehistory to the present day in its Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Jewish Art and Life Wings, and features extensive holdings of biblical and Land of Israel archaeology.[2]
