The museum inhabits several rooms in the ancient fortification dating back to the Hasmonean dynasty that were rebuilt and expanded over millennia. Move through the rooms successively, as they exhibit Jerusalem as it changed chronologically through different time periods and empires' reigns. Climb the tower's ramparts for views over the citadel and the Old City. At night you can attend the sound and light show that illuminates the walls in the courtyard outside.

We went for the evening light show on the history of Jerusalem which was done very well. We did not get a chance to see the rest of the Museum. There was a full house but we were able to get in and out with minimal issues. There was a nice breeze for the evening show.

This is a very informative and scenic way to begin your journey into Jerusalem's Old City. Not only can you tour through ancient ruins - some of which date all the way back to the 11th century BCE! - but you can also learn more about why Jerusalem has played such a major role in world history. If you have the good fortune of doing a night show here, go for it! It's something that you truly have to see to believe.
