Insider tips

The museum recommends its live-guide option over the tablet; ask for it when you book.
Tablet guides are only given to children over ten, so younger kids need the guided tour.
Open until 19:00 Sunday to Thursday, which makes it a rare after-work museum.
Material is offered in Hebrew, English, French, Russian and Spanish.
The VR piece can be bought on its own for ₪30 if you are short of time.
