Era
Mamluk

The museum is located in an old building that used during the Ottoman era as a bombardment for the Ottoman soldiers and then became a residence for some of the Jerusalemite families until it restored to a museum, small but it is great and large with its rare and precious.

The museum has a main corridor leading into the museum, we can see from there a collection of rare photographs that represent the life styles of Jerusalem in the previous periods, which range from the nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, and then see a group of angles that represent a range of occupations and skills characterized by the holy man before.

The museum’s supervisors seek to exploit its surface and turn it into a glass hall, which is occupied by a transparent dome of mosaic to transform the sun into bright iridescent colors with dazzling lighting that matches the rest of the nearby Jerusalem domes to reflect the city’s great features with sound and light.

Located in an old 650-year-old building dating back to the Mameluk era, the museum offers a view of the normal life and the tools used Between the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
