The experience it offers presents this extraordinary man both as a historical figure from the past, and as an inspiring visionary of the future whose dreams challenge Zionists today as they did over a century ago.
“For Zionism as I understand it includes not only the yearning for a plot of promised land legally acquired for our weary people, but also the yearning for ethical and spiritual fulfillment.
Tikvateinu, p. 2
The New Herzl Museum provides a spectacular audio-visual encounter with the visionary of the Jewish State, and offers a thought-provoking, hour-long portrait regarding the status of the Jews according to Herzl. A visit to the Museum allows us to share, through movement, Herzl’s daring aspirations, his deep disappointments and his turbulent personal journey.
