Eretz Israel Museum, established in 1953, has a large display of archaeological, anthropological and historical artifacts organized in a series of exhibition pavilions on its grounds.
The "Man and His Work" wing features live demonstrations of ancient methods of weaving, jewelry and pottery making, grain grinding and bread baking.
Of special interest is the copper snake with gilded head found in the Midianite shrine, reminding of the biblical Nehushtan,[2] "the bronze serpent that Moses had made" (Numbers 21:4–9; 2 Kings 18:4).
Two rare vessels on display are a delicate drinking horn with two openings, known by its Greek name "rhyton", and "Ennion's Blue Jug" bearing the signature of its famous maker, who lived in the first half of the 1st century CE.
