About
Beit Hatfutsot, also known as the Museum of the Jewish People, stands on Klausner Street in Ramat Aviv, on the northern side of Tel Aviv-Yafo. It is a museum devoted to Jewish history and culture, and it tells the story of Jewish communities across the world rather than focusing on a single country or period.
What the museum covers
The exhibits follow the diversity of Jewish life in many places and over many years. Visitors can expect a broad view of how different communities have lived, worked, worshipped and kept their traditions, presented in a way that sets these stories side by side.
- Interactive exhibits that invite visitors to explore rather than only read.
- Extensive genealogical databases, useful for anyone tracing family roots.
- Displays on Jewish communities around the world.
Why visit
Beit Hatfutsot suits visitors interested in history, culture and family research. The genealogical resources in particular make it a good stop for those who want to look into their own ancestry, and the interactive displays make it accessible to younger visitors and families.
Its location in Ramat Aviv places it a short distance from the rest of Tel Aviv, so it can be combined with a wider day in the city. For opening hours, prices and other practical details, it is best to contact the museum directly by telephone at +972-3-745-7800 before you go.
