East Jerusalem, near Herod's Gate
A white limestone Mandate-era museum just outside the Old City walls near Herod's Gate, holding finds from excavations across the country between 1919 and 1948, displayed largely as they were laid out when the building opened. It has been run as part of the Israel Museum since 1968.

Billets
Hours and admission are left blank because the Israel Museum's website, which runs this branch, was unreachable when this entry was compiled. Confirm with the Israel Museum before travelling — the Rockefeller keeps short hours and is closed several days a week.
Stationnement
Street parking on Sultan Suleiman St is difficult; the easiest approach is on foot from Damascus Gate or Herod's Gate.

Conseils d'initiés
- Phone the Israel Museum before setting out - the Rockefeller keeps limited hours and closes several days a week.
- The 1930s building, with its hexagonal tower and courtyard pool, is as much the attraction as the collection.
- It is a short walk outside the walls from Damascus Gate or Herod's Gate; driving here is the hard way.
- Displays are largely original Mandate-era cases with sparse labelling - come for the objects and the atmosphere.
