BOOK SUMMARY

This book provides a guide to the extensive and varied collections of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Housing a world-acclaimed collection of biblical archaeology - of which the highlight is the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, exhibited in the Shrine of the Book - the Museum is also home to fine works of art from all over the world. These include Old Master paintings, Impressionist, Israeli and contemporary art, holdings in photography, design and ethnic arts, and an impressive sculpture garden displaying, among others, works by Rodin, Henry Moore, David Smith and James Turrell. The world's most comprehensive collections of Judaica and Jewish Ethnography bring to life 2000 years of the communities of the Diaspora through the display of religious and ritual artifacts, clothing, jewellery and objects of everyday life. The vast archaeological collection records the cultures of the Holy Land and neighboring countries - their art, religion, funerary rites, trade and industry - from prehistoric times until the advent of the Muslim era. Divided into four chapters covering Archaeology, Art, Judaica and Ethnography, and the innovative Ruth Youth Wing, with its interactive approach aimed at encouraging younger visitors, the book provides a fascinating tour of this unique and beautiful Museum.
