The Israel Museum, in Jerusalem, was opened on the 11 th of May, 1965. Vision and skillful planning, large financial resources augmented by generous gifts made it possible to convert the Museum into a national treasure.
The Museum buildings stand on several levels blending well into the landscape. The central pavillion contains the Bezalel Museum of fine arts collection and the Samuel Bronfman Biblical and Archaeological Museum. In the Shrine of the Book are displayed the scrolls discovered in the Judean desert as well as Biblical manuscripts. An impressive outdoor exhibit of statues has been set up in the Billy Rose Garden of Arts.
