Treasures in the Wall Museum

The “Treasures in the Wall” Museum is located in the heart of the Old Wall of Old Akko. The historic structure formerly used by the Ottoman Guard soldiers is divided into vaulted halls containing rare collections of treasures that reflect the life of the Galilee from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The objects shed light on the lifestyles of ancient Acre residents and illustrate the Galilean folklore that derived its origins from the various people who lived and traded in the area during previous generations.The starting point for establishing the exhibitions is the presentation of the human being in the environment in which he lived and acted, with reference to a similar and unique variety of religions and communities that existed in the Galilee in the last 200 years (Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouins, Circassians and Bahá’ís). One wing of the museum simulates a 19th-century market, a market that offers a trip to the Galilee of a century ago. Various artisan shops, such as a hat-maker shop, with original work tools are displayed. The second wing, dedicated to collectors and collections, features a damask inlaid seashell with Samobar with dedication to Ahmad al-Jazar, old closets including collections of lamps, weights, sacred vessels of the three religions and more. The second wing, dedicated to collectors and collections, features a Damascan checkered salon including a samovar with a dedication to Ahmed al-Jazar, old cabinets including collections of lamps, weights, sacred tools of the three religions and more.
