Jaffa is one of the oldest cities in the world. The first settlements on its territory existed in the XVII-XVI centuries BC. The city flourished in the ancient era, but was destroyed during the Jewish War. The restoration took place under the Emperor Vespasian. During the Arab rule and the subsequent Crusades, Jaffa continued to develop as an important port. In 1268, the city was destroyed by the troops of Sultan Beybars I, after which it lay in ruins for 400 years. In the middle of the XX century, Jaffa was merged with Tel Aviv.

The Tel Aviv Seaport operated from 1938 to 1965. After the closure, the port remained abandoned for thirty years, until in the 1990s it was turned into a tourist area. Today, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues are open here, well-maintained walking areas are organized for visitors. Once a week there is an antique market on the territory of the harbor.

A modern complex consisting of three skyscrapers – a triangular tower (169 meters), a round tower (187 meters) and a square tower (154 meters). All the structures were built in the period 1996-2007. The complex was named after D. Azrieli, an entrepreneur of Israeli origin who participated in the creation of the project. On the 49th floor of the round tower there is a panoramic observation deck, from where you can look at Tel Aviv from a height of 182 meters.

In the XIX century, the first Jewish settlement outside of Jaffa was located on the territory of the modern Neve Tzedek district. Lands for the construction of houses were bought from Muslims. Gradually, emigrants from Europe came here and built their homes, so the streets began to resemble the quarters of Krakow, Munich and Prague at the same time. During the XX century, the area fell into disrepair, but was revived again in the 1990s.

A group of districts in the central part of Tel Aviv, where the houses are predominantly white. The main construction of this part of the city was carried out in the 1920-1950 years in the popular at that time post-war style "Bauhaus", which assumes functionality, convenience and minimalism. The White City was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as a monument of urban planning of the XX century.

Built in 1925, which combines features of several architectural styles. The house was built according to the project of A. Levi for a wealthy citizen M. Bloch. A curious story is connected with its creation, according to which Bloch rejected Levi's original plan and turned to an American architect. But the latter did not take into account the peculiarities of local architecture, so his project was rejected. Then Bloch came to Levi again. In retaliation, the architect created a building where he mixed styles of different eras.

The exposition is devoted to the history of the Jewish combat detachments "Palmach", created in 1941 to repel a possible attack of the Third Reich on Palestine.

With the help of videos, projections and special effects, visitors are shown a "revived" story.

The opening of the museum was timed to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the formation of the Israeli state. His collection is made up of exhibits that can be used to study the history of the Jewish diaspora scattered around the world.

The exhibition is devoted to various aspects of the life of Israelis in other countries.
