In the heart of bustling north Tel Aviv lies MUZA, Eretz Israel Museum—a unique multi-disciplinary museum built around the historic Tel Qasile archaeological site. This tel holds special significance as the first archaeological site excavated in the newly formed State of Israel, with remains of ancient settlements dating back more than 3,000 years. When you visit today, you'll discover a beautiful outdoor complex spanning large gardens, trails and ponds, complemented by archaeological exhibits including ancient mosaic floors, wine presses, a reconstructed flour mill, and an olive oil press. The museum features numerous pavilions distributed across its expansive grounds, each housing rare and important collections: The Glass Pavilion, the Kadman Numismatic Pavilion, the Ethnographic and Folklore Pavilion, the Ceramics Pavilion, the Nehushtan (copper) Pavilion, the Man and His Work Center, the Alexander Pavilion of Postal History and Philately, and the Rothschild Center. MUZA also functions as a vibrant cultural center with performance spaces, a theater, and a unique planetarium, alongside rotating contemporary exhibitions that create dialogue between past and present. Join us on a virtual tour through the site's rich history and exciting exhibitions, and take a virtual stroll through the beautiful grounds and ancient remains of Tel Qasile.
