Rockefeller Museum, Jerusalem

Rockefeller Museum is a museum housing artifacts from excavations done since the late 19th century. Officially, it is called the Palestine Archaeological Museum, but is commonly known as the Rockefeller Museum from the outset due to the involvement of John D Rockefeller Jr who donated two million dollars for the establishment of the museum in 1925.

Rockefeller Museum was designed by Austen St Barbe Harrison drawing eastern and western elements into its design. The cornerstone was laid in 1930 and the museum opened to the public on 13 January, 1938. About the most important piece of antiquity that has been housed in the museum were the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were discovered in Qumran between 1947 and 1956.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
