Note: This post and future posts will be using a more interactive way to help you learn Hebrew. Hovering your mouse cursor over the Hebrew words (without clicking on them) will show you how to pronounce the word in Hebrew, along with the English translation. This will help you get used to reading Hebrew faster.
Want to learn some history of a country? How about getting some culture? Then a visit to a מוזיאון is in order. It will give you hours to keep you entertained and busy.
First, you’ll need to decide what מוזיאון to visit. There are so many different types, that it would be hard not to find one that pleases you. There are מוזיאונים for art, information, transportation, science, open air, virtual and zoos, you will not be bored.
When you first arrive at a museum, ask if they have a plan or map of the מֻצָּג. Locate the places that interest you – usually there will be at least one thing that catches your eye. For instance, you want to go see the התצוגה דינוזאורים? Go to the fossil section, or any area that is specially set aside for dinosaur displays. If you find several things of interest, plan your time carefully to make sure that you don’t miss anything.
Always check when the museum is open. Some מוזיאונים are closed on holidays. Here’s how to ask: מתי פּותחים את המוזיאון?
