The ground floor exhibition is set up: Archaeological finds from the palaeolithic time till the Byzantine times. Dead Sea Scrolls, traditional women's dresses plus some bedouin stuff and other minor subjects. All of it set up in a contemporary exhibition style. English texts. Bookshop still closed. The 2nd floor is still missing, i.e. Islamic collection and modern history.
I'm not sure that the ticket office is working, - at least I entered without paying .-)
I absolutely recommend a visit.
Enjoy
