Palmach Museum

Palmach Museum

The Palmach Museum (Hebrew: מוזיאון הפלמ"ח‎‎) is a museum located in Ramat Aviv, Israel dedicated to the Palmach, the strike-force of the pre-state underground Haganah defense organization, which was later integrated into the Israel Defense Forces.

History

Opened in 2000, the Palmach Museum commemorates the contribution of the Palmach to the creation of the State of Israel. It was designed by Israeli architects Zvi Hecker and Rafi Segal.[1]

The museum is an underground series of multi-media experience chambers, starting with a memorial for the fallen.[2]
