Tel Aviv-Yafo is home to a variety of smaller, specialized museums, such as Beit Ben Gurion (The home of David Ben Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister), Beit Hatanach (The home of the Bible), The Haganah (defense) Museum, The I.Z.L. (the Irgun Zva’I Leumi – National Military Organization) Museum, Beit Hasofer (author’s house), Beit Reuven, The Jabotinsky Museum, and many others. Each of these smaller museums is a treasure house of artifacts. For example, Beit Bialik – the house of the national poet, displays the books, furniture and belongings of Israel’s renowned national poet. Bialik’s personal library of more than 3,000 books has been preserved, and the museum’s archives contain thousands of manuscripts, including the most extensive collection of his writings.
