A New Museum at Masada

July 30, 2007

The tour begins with 1st-century historian Flavius Josephus and ends with 20th-century archaeologist Yigal Yadin. Visitors will be able “to see and feel” the reality of life at Masada as they stroll between the different scenes: absorb Roman culture; experience the emotions of Jewish refugees who fled to the mountain in fear; and relive their last night—the dramatic fall of the fortress on Passover AD 73.

Masada was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 and is the symbol of the epic collapse of the Judean Kingdom at the time of the Second Temple.
