The Biblical Museum of Natural History, located facing the entrance to Beit Shemesh in Israel, is a unique institution that is part zoo, part natural history museum, and completely educational and fun! It showcases the animal world of the Bible with a fascinating array of both live and non-live exhibits. Visits are conducted via guided and self-guided tours, which include hands-on experiences! Through the exciting and interactive tour, visitors learn the identities and symbolism of the animals of Scripture, lessons in Jewish values, law and history, and the natural history of Biblical Israel.
