The newly expanded and reimagined ANU – Museum of the Jewish People opened March 10, becoming the world’s only museum dedicated to celebrating and exploring the experiences, accomplishments and spirit of the Jewish people from biblical times to today.
Located on the campus of Tel Aviv University, the Diaspora Museum (Beit Hatfutsot) was founded in 1978 and was later renamed The Museum of the Jewish People.
