Heroes Exhibition
The Heroes exhibition tells the story of famous Jews. This exhibition is open on Saturdays, and you have to book it in advance. Once you enter, you are allowed to be there during your time slot (90 minutes). And when it ends, you have to exit.
It is not a typical museum exhibition. It is a hands-on experience that teaches through games and is designed for elementary school-aged children (ages 6-12).
For example, Simcha Blass conceived the idea of drip irrigation. And on the central image of the first row, you control drip irrigation by turning the wooden levels. The goal is to water all crops.
Our time slot was 10:00-11:30, and by 11:20, our kids had completed all the activities, so we headed to the other exhibitions in the museum.
