The Rockefeller Museum houses an extraordinary collection of artifacts spanning nearly half a million years of human history. Exhibits include prehistoric tools, ancient pottery, Roman and Byzantine mosaics, Islamic-era woodwork, and treasures from sites such as Jericho, Megiddo, and Bethlehem.

The museum played a formative role in establishing archaeology as a scientific discipline in Palestine and continues to preserve the discoveries made during early excavations across the land. For many, it is not just a repository of objects but a place where the story of Palestine’s civilizations is carefully preserved and told.
