Accessibility at the Museum

The Tower of David Museum is located in Jerusalem’s historic Citadel, built to protect the city from conquerors and invaders. This protected heritage site has many obstacles that bar easy access. Despite this, the museum values accessibility for all and strives to advance it. We are committed to giving all visitors who come through the gates of the museum a quality experience.
