The city of Jerusalem - one of the acknowledged spiritual center of humanity. Jerusalem - not only the city and not just the city, the capital of the State of Israel. Here were laid the foundations of the world's leading religions, and today Jerusalem is the center of three religions-Judaism, Christianity and Islam. All over the world-famous sights of the great city: the shrine of the Jewish people - part of the western wall of the Temple in Jerusalem, called the Western Wall, the main shrine of Christendom - the Holy Sepulcher and Via Dolorosa - Way of the Cross of Jesus, the famous Muslim mosque and the golden dome of Al Aqsa Mosque. We may recall ancient Roman Cardo street, an underground tunnel, aqueduct of the river Gihon, acting today and has more than 2700 years, the tomb of King David, the main room of the Last Supper and the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady of Mount Zion, King Herod built a fortress at the entrance to the Old Town, famous archaeological parks Ofel and the City of David - only for the sights of Jerusalem, we would need a big book.
Less known to the public and tourists to museums of Jerusalem, which seem to constitute an integral part of today sights of the capital of Israel. With a huge number of historical and cultural values of Jerusalem natural question arose: what values are the museum and whether to include museums, such as the Hasmonean tunnel, or archaeological park Ofel? To answer this question helped "Dictionary of Foreign Words", which states: "The museum - the space where collections of objects of scientific, artistic or industrial, etc. nature." This definition and adhered to by a book devoted to museums of Jerusalem.
