Great construction of the experience of the young defenders of the state. Newsreel archive footage combined with overlay video and series of rooms with simulated outdoor settings.

A different and helpful presentation of history which was engaging and informative. Focussing on a group of young men and women, many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice, during a struggle to survive and ultimately help establish the State of Israel. A powerful glimpse at these times of great uncertainty, camaraderie in the face of constant danger, and the young... More

Noisy but moving and very informative enactment of the early days of the Israeli military - brave young soldiers trading under pressure and fighting against overwhelming odds. Still though, how could this ragged force beat 5 well equipped Arab armies?? Excellent Israeli strategists and lame Arab leadership - pretty much the same as now.

The museum is a walk through that has patrons share the experience of a Palmach squad as it trains and goes through the war of independence.

This museum is so well put together and follows the history of the state of Israel so well. It was a pleasure to visit and very educational for the kids!

I had heard so many good things about this museum but was so disappointed. Firstly, the English translation device we were given covered one ear only. The Hebrew version blasted through the other ear. It would be so easy for them to either give earphones or bring down the Hebrew volume. The Hebrew version is spoken by actors on the... More

We spent many hours here and could have spent more. It is interesting, inspiring and sad. Please don't miss this experience.

We were interested in Israel's struggle for statehood. This museum tells the story by introducing you to individuals who fought in the struggle.

I went to visit this museum because my mother was a member of the Palmach and I wanted to learn more about this amazing group. The tour is 90 minutes short. Yup, too short. It was interactive, keeps you moving from room to room. Each room is decorated in the theme it represents. If the scene is in a forest,... More
