The Yasser Arafat Museum is one of Ramallah’s most significant cultural landmarks, located beside the Muqata’a presidential compound and the mausoleum of Yasser Arafat. Opened in 2016, it is a modern, state-of-the-art institution that documents both the personal life of Arafat and the broader history of the Palestinian national movement. Its contemporary design, multimedia exhibitions, and archival collections provide visitors with an in-depth understanding of Palestine’s modern journey.

More than a museum of remembrance, the site connects history to place. Visitors walk through the grounds where Arafat lived his final years under siege and can visit his mausoleum, making the experience both historical and deeply personal. It is a space of education, reflection, and national memory, where the legacy of a leader intersects with the aspirations of a people.
