Israel (/ˈɪzreɪəl/ or /ˈɪzriːəl/; Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל Yisrā'el; Arabic: إِسْرَائِيل Isrāʼīl), officially the State of Israel (Hebrew: מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵל Medīnat Yisrā'el [mediˈnat jisʁaˈʔel]; Arabic: دولة إِسْرَائِيل Dawlat Isrāʼīl [dawlat ʔisraːˈʔiːl]), is a country in the Middle East, situated at the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea. It shares land borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan on the east, the Palestinian territories (which are claimed by the State of Palestine and are partially controlled by Israel) comprising the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively, and Egypt to the southwest. It contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area. Israel's financial and technology center is Tel Aviv, while Jerusalem is both its self-designated capital (unrecognised by the United Nations) and its most populous individual city under the country's governmental administration. Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem is internationally disputed.
The Israel Museum (Hebrew: מוזיאון ישראל, Muze'on Yisrael) was founded in 1965 as Israel's national museum. It is situated on a hill in the Givat Ram neighborhood of Jerusalem, near the Bible Lands Museum, the Knesset, the Israeli Supreme Court, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Among the unique objects on display is the Venus of Berekhat Ram a carved female figurine considered the oldest artwork in the world; the interior of a 1736 Zedek ve Shalom synagogue from Suriname; necklaces worn by Jewish brides in Yemen; a mosaic Islamic prayer niche from 17th-century Persia; and a nail attesting to the practice of crucifixion in Jesus’ time. An urn-shaped building on the grounds of the museum, the Shrine of the Book, houses the Dead Sea Scrolls and artifacts discovered at Masada.
Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek was the driving spirit behind the establishment of the Israel Museum, one of the leading art and archaeology museums in the world. The Museum houses works dating from prehistory to the present day in its Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Jewish Art and Life Wings, and features extensive holdings of biblical and Land of Israel archaeology. Since its establishment in 1965, the Museum has built up a collection of nearly 500,000 objects, representing a broad sample of world material culture.
An 18th-century French salon gift of Baron Edmond and Baroness Nadine de Rothschild, Paris. This grand salon conveys the Rococo elegance of the eighteenth century through its decor, furnishings, and objets d’art. It belonged to a second-generation member of the new aristocracy, the Count de Coubert, Jacques-Samuel Bernard and was part of his Paris townhouse on rue de Bac, designed by François Debias-Aubry between 1741 and 1745. In the 1880s the salon came into the possession of the first Baron Edmond de Rothschild, known in Zionist history as HaNadiv (The Benefactor). Over the doors in the four corners are allegorical depictions of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, while two Gobelin tapestries depict mythological scenes from a series titled “Love of the Gods” made for Louis XV.

Designed by the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi, the Art Garden lies on the western slope of the Museums campus. It is divided into wide, crescent-shaped sections arching upward and supported by high walls made of rough fieldstone. As in a Japanese Zen garden, the ground is covered in gravel, and paths lined with local plants and trees connect the different sections. A multitude of materials were incorporated into the gardens design: stones of different kinds and sizes, exposed concrete, and water. Walls enclose smaller spaces and rectilinear terraces of the garden, echoing the shapes of the Museums buildings.

This model was built at the initiative of Hans Kroch, owner of the Holyland Hotel, in memory of his son Jacob, who fell in Israel's War of Independence. The model was produced under the direction of Prof. Avi-Yonah of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The reconstruction was based on three main sources of information: literary works, especially the books of Josephus, the Mishnah and Talmud, and the Gospels; ancient cities similar to Jerusalem; and archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem itself. The model is on a scale of 1:50

以色列博物館創建於1965年,不但是以色列境內最大的文化匯點,更是全球數一數二的藝術和考古學博物館。館內收藏了由史前至今各式各樣的文物遺產,並設有不同展館,例如考古學館、美術館和猶太藝術生活館 。此外,館內收藏了全球最多聖經文物,在聖經和聖地考古學方面取得很大成就。感謝世界各地贊助者慷慨的捐助,以致博物館在短短45年間,已收集了近50萬件文物。 2010年夏天,以色列博物館完成了全面的翻新工程,在20英畝的土地上興建了全新展覽廳,亦更新了入口的設備及配套。為期三年的擴展和翻新工程,在阿爾弗雷德.曼斯費爾德(Alfred Mansfeld)和朵拉蓋德(Dora Gad)的設計上加以補充,從而加深參觀者對館內展品、博物館建築及周圍環境的認識。 耶穌時代(第二時期聖殿)的耶路撒冷模型。公元66年,耶路撒冷爆發大起義,城市和聖殿在抗爭中被羅馬人所毀。占地近一英畝的耶路撒冷模型將公元66年的耶路撒冷重現出來,展示了古城高峰期的樣式並將其真實呈現在大眾面前。該模型的比例是1:50,主要的建築材料是石灰右(又名耶路撒冷石),自古至今耶路撒冷的建築物都是由這種石材建造而成。1966年,第二聖殿時期的耶路撒冷模型正式落成。 在籌備興建模型之初,考古資料有限,但隨著在耶路撒冷的發掘,考古學家日益加深了對古城的理解,從而令到模型有進一步發展,此模型不是為了展示考古的準確性,而是希望重現一世紀耶路撒冷的樣式,透過其建築規模及地形的分佈,將以色列歷史中最重要的時期呈現出來。 博物館內著名的比利羅斯藝術花園由日裔美國人雕塑家野口勇(Isamu Noguchi)設計,藝術花園被喻為二十世紀中一座舉世矚目的雕塑花園。現代化的設計把藝術花園融合在古耶路撒冷山坡的東方美景中,展示了現代西方雕塑與傳統結合的美,園內收集了多位國際著名雕塑家的作品。 以360視角帶你遊覽「以色列博物館」 創世360 ...

Israel - Day 5 The Temple Mount, also known as the Haram, is one of the most important religious sites in the Old City of Jerusalem. It has been used as a religious site for thousands of years. Bethlehem is a Palestinian town south of Jerusalem in the West Bank. The biblical birthplace of Jesus, it’s a major Christian pilgrimage site. The birth is marked by an inlaid silver star in a grotto under the 6th-century Church of the Nativity, which shares Manger Square with the 15th-century Church of St. Catherine and the 1860 Mosque of Omar

A special memorial event commemorating the life of Edgar M. Bronfman, z"l, former President of the World Jewish Congress, and a philanthropist, who passed away last December, took place on Thursday, March 6 at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The event took place in the presence of MK Yuli Edelstein, Speaker of the Knesset, MK Isaak Herzog, Leader of the Opposition, and members of the Bronfman family. "I want to thank to all of you for this great evening. It's a little bit difficult for me to talk about Edgar.

"There was an Edgar that loved such events and has been always into it, and there was another Edgar, home Edgar with a huge fami...
