ANU Museum of the Jewish People

Warning: This museum is a rabbit hole - once you are in, you won‘t leave! A very good museum that presents Jewish history, cultural life and religion in a modern way. With interesting short movies, good explanations and historic artefacts. Must-see if you have the time and you are interested in Jewish culture.

I highly recommend going to this well-invested museum. Also suitable for children but aged 10+. There are many interactive displays to connect visitors to Jewish history. Includes original items from history. You can spend a good few hours in the museum. There is parking nearby.

The correct name of this museum is now ANU אנו museum of the jewish people. It has been completely renovated and proposes a very complete exhibition on the impact of the jews in various areas, on their history and traditions. One of the best museums I have ever visited.

The museum has a considerate although often contesting, conflicting and pretentious, content. It might be worth visiting to make up your own opinion. Hence the second star. Also, I had at first a super friendly staff welcoming, but this is probably just to charge me a quite high price of almost 15 eur. However, due to construction, arround the University campus, almost alll entrances to the University campus were closed. It took me more than an hour to reach the entrance with no clear guidance just in a hope walking on the perimeter of the campus in the 32 C hit. One group of 5 people didn't even tried finding the entrance. Phone was not answering but authomatic messages. When asked the staff if possible to use the entry ticket for the following day due to lost time, I was refused. :( So I could see only one floor from three in remaining time. Souvenirs shop and cafe closed, due to weekend. but this was comunucated on the website.

So I guess you meed to take care more for the people willing to learn about your interpretation of the hystory at least providing a clear guidance for entrance and a little jesture to offer at least some compensation acvess for the time lost searching the entrance would had been a friendly jesture.

3 floor museum, located at Tel Aviv University, is very interesting. Need at least 3 hours to see properly. Fabulous Aroma Cafe next door when you finish. Recommend.

Do yourself a favor and visit this phenomenal museum if you are in Israel or in Tel Aviv as a tourist, as this is one of the highlights of my trip to Israel! I just learned that the place has been renovated and re-opened last 2021, and could probably be the reason why the museum looks very remarkable - ultra modern, spacious, eclectic, and very well-curated. I have learned more about the Jewish people of today and yesteryears, and I was surprised that some very famous people are Jewish (Einstein is Jewish :)). Plus, the in-house tour guide or staff was a phenomenal guy who can speak English very well, and his enthusiasm was enthralling. Highly recommended!

This museum tells about the history and partly the culture of the Jews, and from different angles (music, cinema, theater, religion) and from different times. We can say that here you can see and read everything you would like to know about the Jews.
Very interesting exhibits and their descriptions. Some look like full-fledged small rooms filled with "what the museum wants to show you." It was an interesting experience.
P.S.: The museum is located on the territory of the "university campus", to get into it, you need to go through the checkpoint, and not look on the map for a direct entrance to the museum from the street.

Beautiful and very very very interesting museum. Great (especially the video) installations and explanations about the Jewish heritage and the history of the Jewish people. We really loved it and spent way more than 2 hours there. Currently bit tricky to get there due to constructions on the university campus. Make sure to search for "Gate 2" of the university campus.
