New Herzl Museum complex opens in Jerusalem
A new Herzl Museum complex was inaugurated in Jerusalem on May 19th. The new Herzl Museum complex includes a state of the art museum with the most modern audio-visual effects, and a Zionist learning center.
Among the artifacts on display are the desk on which Theodor Herzl wrote “The Jewish State” which was published in 1896 and documents from the First Zionist Congress held in Basel, Switzerland between August 29th and 31st 1897.
The inauguration of the Museum coincided with the Hebrew date of Herzl’s birth in Budapest on the 10th of Iyar in 1860, which was designated last year by the State of Israel as the official day for
commemorating Herzl, the visionary of an independent and sovereign Jewish National Home. The new Herzl Center is a project of the World Zionist Organization and is supported by the Jerusalem Foundation.
