Israel Army Museum
The Israel Army Museum presents the history of the Israeli Army, the IDF, from it’s formation in 1948 until the present day. The IDF (short for the Israel Defense Force) was formed from the merging of the pre-state Hagana, Lehi and Irgun military forces and today the IDF is regarded as one of the top military forces in the world (ranking number ten in the 2011 World Military Strength Ranking).
The Israel Army Museum is a must for IDF and/or military fans, with it’s displays of weapons caches, weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, uniforms, photographs, gifts from the chiefs of staff, etc. The vehicle used by Motta Gur when the Old City was captured in 1967 also rests in this Museum, as does David Ben-Gurion’s car from when he was Minister of Defense. It is easy to amble around this fascinating museum, taking in the colorful history of the IDF in the mainly outdoor pavilions.

Hello reader. My name is Charlotte Noris and I am sure that you will definitely enjoy my blog. Do you know why? All because on the pages you will see bright and colorful photos, as well as useful information. My husband and I are freelancers, so we can travel at any time of the year.
For myself, I most often plan tours in advance, but it also happens that the trip turns out to be spontaneous when I see an interesting place and a nice price. At the age of 35, I have visited more than 30 countries and do not plan to stop there. I want to visit all continents and the most secret corners of our planet.
