Tel Aviv - take a trip to the historic Independence Hall
Possibly the most important modern building, the Independence Hall is the site where the State of Israel came into being when David Ben-Gurion, who was then the head of the People’s Council, declared the creation of the State of Israel, on Friday 14th May 1948. The museum has recreated the scene, and many of the chairs in the museum carry the names of the people in attendance at the declaration. The museum is normally open 09.00 to 14.00 hours, Sunday to Friday.
