Tickets

Included in the main Israel Museum ticket. Standard prices are left blank because the museum's ticket pages could not be reached when this entry was compiled; some studio workshops carry a separate charge and need booking.

Parking

Paid visitor car park on the campus off Derech Ruppin; the Bible Lands Museum's free lot two minutes away is the usual fallback on busy days.

Getting there

Buses 7, 9, 14, 35, 66 and 90 to Museum Row (Shmuel Stefan Wise St / Derech Ruppin).

AccessibilityReached through the main museum entrance, which uses lifts and ramps between levels. Confirm specific needs with the museum before you come.

Insider tips

It is inside the main campus, so you use the same entrance and ticket desk as the big museum.
Pair it with the Second Temple model outdoors to break up the indoor time for younger kids.
Studio workshops are scheduled rather than drop-in; call ahead if a studio session is the point of the trip.
The museum opens only at 16:00 on Tuesdays, which is late for small children - pick another day.
