Closed

 Tried to go to the Israel musuem today. Took a long time to get there. It's not a good location. But for those who are interested, you get on the 66 aleph at the Chords Bridge. 

But guess what. They were closed. Closed on Sunday. Here are the hours

Opening hours

You get the point. Israel is not the land of culture and intellect that you assumed it would be.
