The Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv is a multidisciplinary museum that presents land's history and its culture in an extensive permanent exhibition, as well as temporary exhibitions on a variety of subjects – such as ethnography, archaeology, folklore, Judaica, cultural history and local identity, traditional crafts and functional arts.

Antique furniture, hand made carpets, wooden statues, china dolls, colorful pillows, curtains, swords, narghilas, silver and copper items from the East (both Near and Far) – you can find here everything!. The bustling, partially covered market is packed with bargains to suit every taste and pocketbook, especially for those who have time and patience.
The young – and the young at heart – will find clothing and accessories, much of it Indian-style: sharwal pants, bright tunics and ponchos, scarves in every hue, as well as jewelry made from silver, wood and plastic.

This tiny, picturesque neighborhood of wooden homes with gabled roofs looks as though it was transported from a New England museum about life in the nineteenth century – which it was, in a way.

They later sold the tiny colony to German Templars, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the German Colony. The story of the American Colony is told at the Maine Friendship House, which is open daily to visitors.
