Bible Lands Museum

Many Israel tours often make a stop at the Bible Lands Museum, which has a wonderful open design of a network of galleries. The focus of the Bible Lands Museum is on the biblical heritage of the Bible lands. Everything from artifacts to displays of biblical features-from Queen Esther to Canaanite deities-can be explored, making it an exciting Jewish travel stop. Bible Lands Museum tries to instill in its visitors a greater appreciation for the Bible's influence on the Western world and culture. It is the life's work of one collector, Elie Borowski (1913-2003), who decided that Jerusalem was the perfect location for this enlightening treasure.
