Tourists looking to learn more about and immerse in Jewish history and culture usually plan a visit to Jerusalem or other ancient cities. One would probably never think of Tel Aviv as a historically rich place, because of its high-rise buildings, sun-soaked beaches, and a bustling nightlife.
On the contrary, Tel Aviv is a great city to learn more about the interesting country of Israel. The metropolis is home to must-see museums, such as the following:

Tel Aviv Museum of Art
Israel’s largest art museum is considered one of the best in the entire world. It was actually opened in 1932, well before Israel was established as a state. The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is the permanent home of the masterpieces of several well-known artists, including Cezanne, Monet, and Picasso. But the museum also has exhibits showcasing the Israeli contemporary art scene, as well as political and social landscapes.
Beit Hatfutsot: The Museum of the Jewish People
The Jewish people has had a rich history; and Beit Hafutsot, with its educational and engaging exhibits, narrates more than two-and-a-half millennia of Jewish history. Those of Jewish lineage can also trace their roots in the museum’s multimedia and family history library.

Eretz Israel Museum
While Beit Hatfutsot features the Jewish diaspora, the nearby Eretz Israel Museum primarily showcases historical artifacts relating to not just Tel Aviv, but also the Land of Israel.
