The Tower of David Museum of the History of Jerusalem is located in the medieval citadel known as the Tower of David, near the Jaffa Gate, the historic entrance to the Old City.
The Museum presents Jerusalem's story. It details the major events in its history beginning with the first evidence of a city in Jerusalem in the second millennium BCE, until the city became the capital of the State of Israel, as well as its significance to three religions.
The Citadel itself is a fascinating archaeological site. The finds uncovered within are a testimony to Jerusalem's eventful past and produce a representation of Jerusalem and its various historical periods in microcosm.
In addition to being a museum of history, the Tower of David relates to both the past and the future. The museum stages temporary exhibitions which integrate the unique location and majesty of the ancient Citadel and its history with a contemporary presentation of artistic and historical issues. The museum also hosts lectures and special events in music, dance and drama as well as dozens of educational activities and programs.
The museum stages a unique sound and light show -- The Night Spectacular - the only one of its kind in the world.
The Museum's establishment and continued work have been made possible through the support of Dame Vivien Duffield and the Clore Israel Foundation through the Jerusalem Foundation.
