I found the museum lacking, and since it's out of the way, I woudn't make the trip. I think there are better places in TLV to visit.

We had a cool cloudy day and having been to Tel Aviv before we thought it was the perfect day to see Haaretz Museum. The exhibitions were informative, easy to walk through. The highlight was the archaeology area outside of the museum. The wonderful thing is that when the museum closes you can still see the outside.

The location, north of central Tel Aviv and near Tel Aviv University (with easy parking) is great for starters in making it a destination. The museum is not one building, but a large area with smaller buildings containing the museum's collections. There are fascinating permanent exhibitions, such as the history of coins over thousands of years in Israel and fascinating... More

There was a great exhibit on Ethiopia and The Rothchilds. Lots of space for kids to move around inside and outside.

Quite extensive history of Tel Aviv, with some archeological exhibits. Documentation good. Not very many visitors. Off street car park. Not too sure about food or drinks availability.

On our first day in Tel Aviv we had some time in the afternoon and decided to visit the Eretz Israel Museum. The museum is centrally located and is easily reached by tax. The museum has a number of very interesting pavilions including ceramics, postal history and the numismatic pavilion. There is also an archaeological excavation which one can visit... More

We really went here as it was a rainy day and I am glad we didn't miss it. All of the exhibits were interesting and well presented. And we were lucky to catch two interesting photo exhibitions. The cafe and shop are also worth a look

This museum is often forgotten but holds wonderful collections of ancient glass and ancient ceramics along with a marvelous collection of ancient coins which bring history to life along with a pavillion devoted to beautiful silver ritual pieces along with other items from around the Jewish world. In addition there are archeological items and an informative area in which one... More

An eclectic collection that includes glass, jewellery, ceramics, stamps, and even a planetarium all on a partly dug archeological site. The permanent collection of holy-land Judaica is excellent. The complex is beautifully landscaped. The museum shop is the best museum shop in Israel and a perfect place to buy upscale, original gifts for friends and family back home.
