Website | EmailThis museum, which is based primarily on the private collection of its founder, Dr. Elie Borowski, displays objects that depict religious myths and scenes of everyday life from the ancient Near East. Each object in the museum has been displayed for its historic importance and often for its aesthetic beauty. Some objects include pottery and metal work used in ancient ritual and daily life. Though artefacts, patrons learn about early civilisations, including the development of writing with pictograph scripts. In addition to the museum's permanent collection, exhibits change seasonally. For the millennium, the museum examines how the stories of the Old Testament are depicted in early Christian art. Museum Admission: Adult - NIS 28 Pensioner - NIS 23 Child/Student/Soldier/Disabled/New Immigrant - NIS 15 Saturday Night Concert Tickets: Adult - NIS 65 Student/Seniors/Disabled/New Immigrant - NIS 55 Soldiers - NIS 40
