This place is basically the Mandate-era archaeological museum, and as such it contains a wealth of interesting artefacts. My own interest was drawn by the Egyptian material (stelae etc, but also the exquisite Late Bronze Age ivories and bronzes etc), but perhaps the most gob-smacking exhibit are the stucco wall decorations from the Umayyad Palace at Jericho (c. 740ish AD)....

This is a small museum in East Jerusalem, near the Damascus Gate. It dates from the British Mandate period. The museum needs to be updated a bit, but the collection itself is interesting. The building itself is an interesting octagon design, and there is a nice central courtyard.

not if you are rushing through the city, but a fine place to see
