יד לשריון מוזיאון — Attraction in undefined

This famous site near the War of Independence and Six Day War battlefield site of Latrun has been built into the Israeli Armoured Corps museum site. It is a fascinating site with one of the finest collection of armoured vehicles dating back even before world war 2. This varied collection is due to the fact that Israel even before its founding and certainly after its independence did nit have the means or the markets to purchase cutting edge armour for its young army and as such had to search the world and buy whatever they could get their hands on.

Here is located one of the most complete collections of armored vehicles. Including Merkava series 1 to 4 and transparent tank. It's very hot here in summer. Hats and water are required. There's Latroun monastery and mini-Israel park nearby. I found no cafeteria. Although a souvenir shop is available. There's lookout point on the roof of British police station. Information there was uncomfortable to read. Inside the police station you can watch panoramic movie and get access to memorial database. It's a military museum and no fancy extras are to be desired here. But I had an impression that it was necessary to improve condition inside the buildings. In the second building disorder and devastation was spotted. Signs of reconstruction. I hope it's reconstructed. The access to it was closed. Good...
