Top 5 Best Museums in Tel Aviv

Before a visit to Israel, some people might wonder what are the 5 best museums in Tel Aviv to visit.

Tel Aviv, the second largest city in Israel, is a home to many museums and galleries.

The city offers a large range of museum varieties: from large, national institutions  to more specialist musemus.

Such as the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, to smaller, more specialist museums such as the Museum of the History of Tel Aviv-Yafo, the Bauhaus Museum, and the Reuven Rubin Museum.

There are also many great museums in the towns surrounding Tel Aviv.

The Design Museum in the city of Holon and the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art in Herzliya is only two examples of the many museums that surrounds the city.
