Interesting museum in Tel-Aviv which tells the story of the Jewish resistance during the first half of the 20th century.

We were delayed and arrived at 3:40 p.m. after ttraveling a great deal of time to get there not realizing that the museum closes at 4. The staff refused to let us in saying that the security guard was doing guard duty and they could not let us in.

Even though it is a bit old, the museum offers a very complete experience about the history of the Hagana, from its first years until the creation of the IDF.

A remarkable place, don't miss

Very interesting and well presented. Well worth a visit.

In the years 2013-2014 I have photographed in the Hagana Museum as part of my then ongoing research project: Museutopia- Military museums in Israel. The project was exhibited in 2015 at the Israeli Centre for Digital Art in Holon. You can find the documentation of the exhibtion in the albums.

This museum is a must in Tel Aviv. Very emotive and well-presented

Well made, interactive and awesome. Movies and videos defaulted in Hebrew but there are buttons that play it in English too. Informative and entertaining. Totally recommend.

Excellent museum, an excellent way to learn about the Hagana, as well as the other "armed" forces before/after the creation of the State of Israel. Great place! Information in Hebrew and English!

This is one of the stops on the Tel Aviv Independence walking tour, and it is well worth an hour to step inside. It tells the interwoven stories of national defense, the rescue of Jews from the post war displaced persons camps, and the war for independence.

An excellent way to learn of what Israel was so you can get a better understanding of how Israel developed as a nation. Time well spent and it’s in an area that’s nice to visit.

This museum outlines the the development of the Jewish self-defence forces, from Bar-Giora and Hashomer during the first Yishuv in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, respectively, to the Haganah from 1920-1948. It is a fantastic museum with many exciting stories to tell. The plight of the early settlers and the struggle during the interwar years leading up to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. The museum is quite centrally located and is well worth a visit. The museum is run by the Ministry of Defence, so bring your passport.

Very well done, comprehensive, interesting, detailed, different formats, and all available in English.

The museum is simple and relatively small yet informative, being creatively decorated in some areas as if you were actually at the historic site. It includes audiovisual information and even a small theater. Not all of the signs and material are translated to english, so you may miss some particular events. Some areas included buttons for the english version of short informative movies but, at the time of my visit, some were not working. You may ask for a self guide audio player that somehow helps which is included in the entrance fee. A somewhat worthwhile place if you have time to spare or are waiting for someone as it only takes around 30 minutes to see everything.

Interesting, small museum.

Very well done about Israel military history.

Great history of the turbulent birth of the Israeli state very balanced

It is a museum that shows how the underground army "Hagan's" worked and how they transformed to IDF. It is ok not a must visit. Doesn't show any "contrasting" opinions.

Enough text and audio in English to understand the history of Hagana, good films.

Excellent displays and very informative. Ask for the no charge audio guide, available also in English

Wonderfully done museum showing and explaining how instrumental the Haganah was in the start and existence of the State of Israel. Well done!

English friendly... with audio guide but also the displays have English as well but you have to look for the buttons. I learned a lot about the history of Israel.

Nice place to understand what was done and how was the situation before 1948. Potencial improvement for future in using more updated technologies - VR/AR

Very interesting and well done. Took a little less than 2 hours. A great visit to add to any trip into tel aviv!

History of the 1948 war where it happened

awesome awesome place. also great for English speakers.

Interesting to know about the defence and formation of the State of Israel... especially about the begiinings in the Pre-State Yishuv.
