The Israeli Museum at the Yitzhak Rabin Center
The Israeli Museum at the Yitzhak Rabin Center is the first and only in Israel to explore the development of the State of Israel as a young democracy.
Built in a downward spiral, the museum presents two parallel stories: the history of the State and Israeli society, and the biography of Yitzhak Rabin. The museum exhibits focus on historical turning points in the country’s development, presenting the conflicts, social challenges and dilemmas the country faced at that time. Along the inner corridor and interwoven with the exhibits’ narratives is the story of the life of Yitzhak Rabin, the connecting thread in the country’s history.
The museum’s content was determined by an academic team headed by Israeli historian, Professor Anita Shapira. The museum's design was headed by Uri Abrahamson and Mabatim Ltd., including experts who took part in the design of the Holocaust Memorial in Washington, D.C., the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Human Rights Museum in Birmingham, Alabama and the David Tower Museum in Jerusalem.
The museum is incredibly rich with over 180 documentary films, 1,500 still photographs and hundreds of memorabilia. We recommend no less than an hour-and-a half to two hours to tour the museum.
The museum experience is guided by individual audio devices. These devices allow visitors to tour the museum at their own pace. The audio devices are offered in Hebrew, English and Arabic.
The museum will offer guided tours beginning Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Guided tours will be offered in Hebrew and in English. Guided tours are recommended for groups of students and soldiers as well as families and groups from abroad. Please inquire with the museum reception desk for more information.
