Hecht Museum — Attraction in Haifa

What a national treasure. I was not expecting to see what I saw there. Especially being a Torah student. There was artifacts from pre Yehoshua bin Nun. Large stones from the bais hamikdash, jewelry from all the time periods. I loved the ancient coin collection. Seeing shekel Tzuri, 1/2 shekels from the time of the bais hamikdash. Dinars etc. Everything had very clear explanations on them. There were also items from the mishnah and talmudic period. Etc etc. Very few people were there, and I had alot of time studying the artifacts. The shiner loved that we were so interested, he gave us a lot of time. I feel my understanding of sugios in Shas has better knowledge then before. Plus being awed by the ancientness of the collection.. I recommend everyone, and expecially yeshiva chevra to go. Plus it didn't cost any money Plus they gave me some free books. Plus there was a paint gallery with monet s . They told me that there is an relationship with other museums, and new collections come every month. כדאי. Thank you to the Hechts, for sharing with am Yiroel...

A lot is closed here at the university today, so it took me some time to find the entrance. If you can’t enter on floor one (where the outdoor signs seem to be leading visitors), you can enter at the main entrance to Eshkol tower (floor 4) and take the elevator to floor 1. The main entrance to Eshkol tower is on the same level as the parking. Once on floor one, you have to follow the hallway to the entrance. The main entrance seemed to be closed for renovations (I’m guessing) so follow the signs to the...

Wonderful museum of archeological findings, which works also on Saturday and has free entrance.

For kids there is a little but interesting play corner.

In the collection of museum there are also interesting paintings from the first half of 20th century, but one has to check its availability prior to the visit (as far as I know currently this part of museum is under reconstruction).

The museum locates in the area of University's camp, close to the entrance to the museum there is a parking lot.

It's also recommended to visit looking spot which is located at the open gallery of the building of School of Arts (this building stands close to the building in which there is the museum) and one of the wonderful trails in the Carmel park, which is also not...
