Known forHolocaustmemorialiconicmust-see
Israel's official Holocaust remembrance authority and one of the most important museums in the world, combining a deeply moving permanent exhibition with memorials, archives, and art galleries spread across a forested hillside. The main Holocaust History Museum, designed by Moshe Safdie, is an architectural and emotional masterpiece. Allow at least three to four hours; the experience is intense and not suitable for very young children.
