Unique museum that shows us the history of how religious beliefs were forged in the countries where it is spoken of in the Old Testament.

The exposition is excellent, staff is very nice and helpful. The museum misses a cafe which is across the street - in the Museum of Israel. However the last closes much earlier. So we came there 30 minutes before closing and could hardly liaise to buy sandwiches that were tough to eat.

So many wonderful artifacts here. I could have spent the whole day there. We had a free tour guide in English who was very knowledgeable too.

Great place to visit. Leave enough time if you’re into bible history.

Loved it because i have to confess - im history nerd and all my nerdiness needs were met. there are artefacts from 10.000 years of human evolution and israelic history on display. I loved every minute of my visit.

From the early canaan settlements over the first families to egyptian enslavement to the era of greeks and romans.

Even a statue of Ramses II is integrated in the exibition.

My advice is, you first go to the Bible Land Museum Jerusalem and than you visit the Israel Museum because the stories told in both are so well connected.

If you like history, in this museum you will learn the history of the land of Jerusalem, the journey of God’s people from Genesis to today. Kings and conquerors and much more!

A not so big but very interesting archeological museum. For those who like archeology - statues, mosaic, ancient artifacts. I loved it.

Nice and quiet as ever. A little disappointing, but understandable, that all hands on activities (and they are everywhere) are disabled. And instead t
You get a bag with all the stuff you needed when you live the museum with a kid. NB important to ask to frescoes room, it is closed as a rule, but they open it on request, and it is really good. Update! Wonderful new exposition about birds, very good art and also stupendous museum work.

The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem holds a unique collection dating back to the beginning of written history. It tells the story of humanity, the story of culture, the story of where we came from and how we got here. It tells Your Story. The Museum presents the history of humanity through one of the most important collections of artifacts from the Ancient Near East – the Lands of the Bible. On display are the great civilizations that rose and flourished in this region – Sumer, Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Canaan, Persia, Greece and Rome, who were responsible for the advancements of Western civilization. These cultures developed our understanding of science and technology, language and writing, economics and commerce, faith and religion and material culture. We invite you to explore the greatest revolutions in our ancient history and to discover the power of the continuum that is constantly transforming the world we live in.
