This small museum gives a very good overview of the beginning of Israel's Defense Force. Entrance fee is NIS 10, well worth it if you are interested in military history. You also need a photo ID to enter. Interesting exhibits, good information in English. The day I was there it was crowded with IDF soldiers

We found the museum tour interesting, unusual and informative, and the other ministry of defence museums similarly so. We got a combined entrance ticket for the 5 museums, so not only interesting but good value. In addition the staff enthusiasm and also the film and photographic footage really made the history come alive.

By chance we went to the Hagana museum and were pleasantly surprised. The museum gives a great insight into the years before and during the independence of the state of Israel.

you are in a short trip = keep nthis for the next time. Hagana was the defence force before the IDF and this museum will take you back in the time machine to see how holocaust survivers invented amunition and methods to hide from the British (UK mandate - remember?)

Absolutely the best collection of weaponry you will find anywhere from side arms to tanks. Also some very interesting displays on the history of the Israeli army. Well worth a couple hours. Then go to the beach, which is right across the street.

I spent far more time here than the average tourist might because I'm both a history and military buff. Be sure not to miss the 20 minute orientation film (in English on request) on the first floor. Some of the exhibits are in need of refurbishing, and the weekday I went the place was nearly deserted. Also on that day... More

Very through survey of the military history of pre-state Israel. Very good collection of early to mid-20th century small arms.
