Eretz Israel Museum

The Eretz Israel Museum actually consists of 11 linked, small museums built around an archaeological site, Tel Qasile. The museum complex is made up of, among others, a planetarium, a glass museum, a folklore pavilion, a reconstruction of a medieval bazaar, a ceramics museum, and a couple of halls with temporary exhibitions. Perhaps the best section is the multimedia presentation of Baron Rothschild, the financier who paid for many public works projects in Tel Aviv in the late 19th century.

Although not all of it is exactly enthralling, it's very well done and can easily occupy a few hours of your time. To get there take bus No 24, 27 or 86.
