The Museum

The idea of establishing the museum began with the emanicipation of the Society in 1965. Its objectives was to help preserve the Palestinian national culture and heritage.

The first practical step towards the implementation of this project was in 1972 with a simple showcase. In 1976, the Scoiety allocated 2 halls in its new building establishment and additional items were added to the museum. In 1984, 2 more halls and were added and a formal innauguration of the new museum took place in 1986.

In 1996, more space was allocated and more items from the Palestinian culture and heritage were displayed. The current space of the museum totals aroung 300 square meters.

The museum consists of the following items:

• Palestinian pottery
