Museums in Jerusalem

Jerusalem's museums span thousands of years of history, from the 2,700-year-old Citadel at the Tower of David to the modern collections of the Israel Museum. Highlights include the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Shrine of the Book and excavated Second Temple period mansions in the Herodian Quarter and Burnt House. The city also features the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, the Rockefeller Archeological Museum, and specialized institutions dedicated to Islamic art, science, and the history of the Jewish underground.
