The Israel Museum, Jerusalem

The Israel Museum is identified by its sprawling campus of modern white buildings perched on a hill, dominated by the distinctive, white, dome-shaped Shrine of the Book. Established in nineteen sixty-five, this institution houses an encyclopedic collection of nearly five hundred thousand objects, ranging from prehistoric artifacts to contemporary art. It serves as the primary cultural repository for the State of Israel, located within a civic triangle that includes the Knesset and the Supreme Court.
