Eretz Israel Museum

Chaim Levanon St 2, Tel Aviv-Yafo

Sprawling museum of pavilions built around a Philistine mound with excavated temple remains and a sanctuary.

This guide to the Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv opens with Walter Moses, a German-born glass collector who promised his lifetime collection to the city in 1952 on one condition, then died three years before it was fulfilled. It then turns to archaeologist Benjamin Mazar, who received the newborn state of Israel's very first excavation license to dig a quiet mound above the Yarkon river. Stone benches and offering vessels from that dig still sit where worshippers left them.
