Beit Hatfutsot: The Diaspora Museum is one of the unsung heroes of the museum world in Tel Aviv and Israel as a whole. The museum is vast and chronicles the history of Jews throughout the diaspora, throughout history. It is undergoing a long refurbishment program which will end in 2014, and what has already been refurbished is incredible. Beit Hatfutsot has some amazing displays, some of which are interactive and its location, within the campus of Tel Aviv University is interesting in itself as you get to visit one of Israel’s leading academic institutions.

Beit Hatfutsot

The Diaspora Museum was the idea of Dr. Nahum Goldmann, founder and first president of the World Jewish Congress. The museum runs through the 2,500 year history of the Jewish diaspora, sending you around the world to the Jewish communities which established and grew uniquely. With a multimedia and family history library, Jews can even trace back their own roots here!
