The new Herzl Museum is a unique educational center that offers a hands-on encounter with the Zionist Movement and its founder, Binyamin Ze’ev (Theodor) Herzl. The design of the Museum is young and modern, and it describes Herzl as a person and a leader, using contemporary language and spectacular audio-visual technology.
The Museum is located at the entrance to Mt. Herzl, and visits there can be combined with guided tours to the Leaders of the Nation Cemetery, the Military Cemetery, and other national sites.
The Herzl Center was built on the 100th anniversary of Herzl’s death, in order to depict the impact and power his activities had on our contemporary reality. The audience joins Herzl on a journey to Zionism, accompanying him as he formulates his positions, identifying with his hopes and disappointments, and understanding the importance of the legacy he left behind while examining the challenges we presently face.
Herzl’s ideas and the theory underlying the Zionist Movement have had an impact on all of us and have made their mark on the path of our history. A visit to the Museum allows us to conduct a thought-provoking dialogue between the past and present, and to examine how we envision the future.
The general public is invited to take part in a unique experience and benefit from educational enrichment while also enjoying a pleasant time. Youth and educators, soldiers and students, adults and new immigrants – everyone is invited to become reacquainted with the Zionist vision and to see how it is being realized.
The Herzl Center was established by the Department for Zionist Activities of the World Zionist Organization, which was founded by Herzl himself at the First Zionist Congress; in cooperation with the Jerusalem Foundation and with support from the Jewish National Fund, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, and the Jewish Colonial Trust.
