This was something I wasn’t sure I was going to get to do. ( I recommend you do it if you get a chance) The museum was closed when I first arrived in Israel and I hadn’t planned to stay in Jerusalem at the end of my trip. It was a long walk over there but worth it. The museum has a no photograph policy which is understandable and frustrating all rolled into one. First we hit up the archaeology wing then had lunch and looked through a few of the art wings. It had some amazing finds from Israel and it was really neat to see artifacts that we had used as references in our own dig cleaned and being displayed. I also took some time and looked at the Dead Sea scrolls also a neat experience although overcrowded and for some one that has night blindness was extremely hard to navigate. I ended up running into a bench and had a 6 inch scrap. (here are some pics that i took before getting yelled at..)
Is it weird that I still check this blog, knowing your not in Israel anymore?! But look, you actually updated it! Ah, love you. And I love that you secretly photographed inside the museum!
