The Yitzhak Rabin Center is a museum and research center in Tel Aviv, Israel, dedicated to the memory of assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. It was designed by Israeli architect Moshe Safdie and opened in November 2005, on the tenth anniversary of Rabin's assassination.
The museum is located on a hill overlooking Hayarkon Park and Tel Aviv, near the Eretz Israel Museum, the Palmach Museum, Tel Aviv University and Beth Hatefutsoth. The center includes a library, archives, research center, museum, and auditorium.
The museum's permanent exhibition tells the story of Rabin's life and career, from his childhood in Jerusalem to his assassination. The exhibition includes photographs, documents, and artifacts from Rabin's life, as well as interactive displays and multimedia presentations.
The center also offers a variety of educational programs, including lectures, workshops, and tours. The center is open to the public and is free of charge.
