Welcome to the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History
The museum presents Israel’s national treasures of nature, selected from a scientific collection of five and a half million items. In its exhibitions you will see thousands of items gathered through the years, in rare exhibits and displays that tell the story of the natural world around us. The mission of the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History at Tel Aviv University is to inspire acquisition of knowledge, to promote understanding, and to reinforce our bonds with nature and our place within it – for the benefit of future generations. The museum reveals scientific knowledge from research taking place within the museum itself and unique perspectives in an experiential, multi-sensory and enjoyable way, creating a special closeness and interaction with nature that cannot be experienced anywhere else.
The Museum is located on the campus of Tel Aviv University, one of the biggest campuses in Israel. The Museum is located adjacent to the University Botanical and Zoological gardens creating an island of nature within the city's limits.
Tel Aviv is Israel's biggest metropolitan area with a vibrant city life. It is a UNESCO world heritage site for its unique concentration of Bauhaus architecture. In additional to being a diverse and bustling city Tel Aviv has a long stretch of a beautiful Mediterranean beach. There is plenty to do here for everyone.
Oh, and did we mention the number of birds that pass over Israel during migration?
