No visit to Jerusalem, or indeed Israel itself, is complete without a visit to the Israel Museum. The museum is so large that it occupies more a campus than a building, and its broad focus makes the Smithsonian look narrow by comparison. It boasts an incomparable Near Eastern history wing. Its Judaica collection is the largest and most impressive in the world, including several historic Diaspora synagogues transported from their original homes and rebuilt in their entirety inside the museum. The art wing includes iconic works by Picasso, Magritte, Warhol and other luminaries, as well as a spacious and ever-evolving multimedia modern art section and another devoted to Israeli artists. Other exhibits focus on native art from South Africa to the South Pacific. The famous sculpture garden is dotted with timeless works by Rodin, Picasso and others, set against stunning views of the Jerusalem hills. And children won't lack for stimulating entertainment as mom and dad peruse the exhibits: the large children's wing offers more than enough to keep tykes of all ages occupied and fascinated.
