Herzl Museum — Attraction in Jerusalem

A really great audio visual experience all about one of the major Zionist founders Herzl! How it works is you go from room to room hearing his story being taught by both a Director and Historian to an Actor in an attempt to help him do better in his upcoming role as the titular Herzl! In between there’s some rooms full of his writings, artifacts, and even one of his rooms. While acting is cheesy (the voices are dubbed over in English) the stories progression was surprisingly natural and decently paced despite that and for only having an hour to tell a man’s life story. Only annoyance is a reoccurring one here in Israel with all the historical figures, that being the complete lack of coverage on his negative aspects yet again pretending the person in question was flawless.

There are some displays from his life, including his complete study. The presentation was fascinating and well done. It is handicapped friendly and there are elevators available to take you between the floors. Highly...
