This is the house of the first prime minister of Yīsrā'ēl. A must visit place for anyone who respects, who values history and who supported the creation of Israel.
The creation of a state for the Jewish people was an important milestone in the history of Jews. Ben Gurion was an honorable man who cared for the Jews ✡️

What a fabulous museum! The audio guide is captivating and informative; the highlight of the tour is Ben-Gurion's personal library upstairs. You could spend hours browsing all the books! And you're allowed to pick them up and look at them!

Must see place . You are being guided by audio from room to room . The Library is amazing . You get to see aspects of Ben Gurion’s daily life while in Tel Aviv.

Nice place and kind staff,they offer hebrew and english mini audio radio so you can silently listen to explanations of each room while moving from one room to another.

Awesome free little museum that showcases the original prime minister's house. Plenty of artifacts and well labeled and described with English descriptions. Ask for an English audio guide which really enhances the experience with very detailed descriptions.

What a great insight into the life of Ben Gurion! The guide was so so good and able to share many facts of how Ben Gurion would learn language for conversation and also because he wanted to read the book in its original writing! Insights into how the wife, Paula was so protective of his health during the Sinai war.. just so much things to glean from! Totally recommend a long visit!

This is an excellent museum with photographs and documents relevant to the history of Israel by it’s founding members like David Ben-Gurion.

I was impressed by the groups of elementary and middle school students accompanied by their teachers performing educational assignments in the museum writing about the artifacts and documents on display.

The extensive library which includes correspondence of Ben Gurion with world leaders can be appreciated from the inspection of all the bookcases on the second floor.

And visit to this museum provides the visitor a sense of the circumstances during the creation of the state of Israel in the world stage.
