Davidson Center

A fairly interesting place which has reconstructed most of the more obvious ritual tools to be used in the Temple services in the hopes of one day restoring the Temple itself. The front of the store is a bookstore/souvenir shop, while the back is a four room museum with one room set aside as a theater to show a 15 minute movie. Dress appropriately when going here - long pants and sleeves for men, and modest wear for women. The shop is a great place to find unique Jewish souvenirs and Judaica - worth browsing even if you don't plan on buying anything.

Housed in the Crusader-era refectory of the Knights Templar, this filled museum contains wonderful Islamic architectural remnants. An admission is required, but it is recommended that guests interested in Islamic art visit the LA Mayer Museum in the new city.

This house was inhabited by a wealthy priestly family at the end of the Second Temple period, and burned down by the Romans in 70 CE.

Lying 3 to 7 m (10 to 22 ft) below street level, this museum offers a vivid excavation of daily life during the Herodian era 2,000 years ago, before the Romans rampaged and burned the wealthy Upper City in AD 70. Photography inside the museum is not allowed.
