This is a modern and immaculate facility, the sort of museum you'd expect to find in New York or a big western city. You take your time and it pays off. I found a lot of interesting displays and was pleasantly surprised at how interesting the film of the area over a hundred years ago in their cinema was. Upstairs you see a Palestinian passport on display (a must see for all those who say Palestine never existed) and a number of other interesting displays. The museum's emphasis is on the local Christian community.
At the end of the museum you discover a lovely restaurant, which they don't mind you treating as a cafe for a coffee too. My wife had to cold, I was with a friend, so this is a must to return to with her. Really really nice.
Amusingly, as you leave they have an old tree on display beside a tear gas canister tree. This is funny and poignant, but also a nice touch as having just studied so many years of fascinating culture and history you see clearly how absurd this tear gas situation is.
