Ever wondered when Jerusalem was first talked about? Or when the menorah became a national symbol? Do you know where the inspiration comes from for Israel’s 1 shekel coin today?
The tour passes through the impressive galleries of the renewed Tower of David Jerusalem Museum, combining genuine archaeological artifacts with movies, interactive screens, and innovative video-art presentations that trace the history of the city from Biblical times to the capital of the State of Israel.
The tour first explores the chronlogical history of the city and then, looking at large scale models, the tour continues through to look at Jerusalem’s sanctity to Judaism, Christianity and Islam through time.
Touch the stones of Jerusalem’s history from First Temple Period until today in the ancient citadel of Jerusalem.
