Experiential Museum

This state-of-the-art 60 minute audiovisual encounter with the visionary of the Jewish state provides a thought-provoking glimpse into Herzl's analysis of the Jewish condition, and offers a moving portrayal of the boldness of his ambitions, the depth of his disappointments, the tumultuous nature of his personal journey, the magnificence of his achievements, the grandeur of his vision, and the challenge of his legacy.

Come, sit with Herzl in a Viennese café at the turn of the last century , and wander the streets of Paris with him in 1894 bearing witness to the Dreyfus trial and the anti-Semitic cries of the mob.

Participate in the drama of the first Zionist Congress convened by Herzl in 1897 , and listen in on his negotiations with the Turkish Sultan in Constantinople and Lord Chamberlain in London.

Travel with Herzl to the Land of Israel for his momentous audience with the German Kaiser in Mikveh Yisrael, and visit him in the study where he penned his diaries and collected his thoughts at the end of each of his diplomatic missions.

Feel Herzl's mounting frustration over his inability to find a solution for the Jews of Europe as they suffered increasingly frequent outbreaks of violence, and share his alarm over the dramatic Kishniev pogrom in 1903.

Partake in the raucous debate overt the Uganda Proposal that Herzl brought before the 6th Zionist Congress, and suffer with him as his heart fails as a result of his exhaustive efforts on behalf of the Jewish people and the Zionist enterprise that consumed his life.

And, together with a triumphant Herzl, contemplate the realities of Israel today against the backdrop of the visionary's fantasies, while reflecting on the contemporary challenges of Zionism, the meaning of a Jewish state, and the relationship between Israel and the Jewish people.


Herzl Center - Interactive Institute for Zionist Education

The staff of the Herzl Center looks forward to complementing your hour-long experiential visit to the Herzl Museum with a custom-designed program of engaging seminars, creative workshops, and stimulating walking tours.

Program themes revolve around Herzl and the Zionist enterprise today, including the present challenge of fashioning Israel as an exemplary society both Jewish and democratic.

All sessions are interactive and incorporate a variety of methodologies, such as text study, drama, role-playing, and debate.

The walking tours can include Herzl's tomb, Israel's national military cemetery, and the final resting place of Israel's highest office holders and the great leaders of the Zionist movement.

The Herzl Center offers activities appropriate for groups of adults, families, educators, students, and teenagers, ranging in duration from 1 hour to 3 days. The longer programs can include visits to neighboring Yad Vashem (Israel's official Holocaust Memorial), the Knesset, and other relevant sites in and around Jerusalem.

Educational programs are available only by prior arrangements.

After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

I wonder if you can get a "Herzl" coffee cup or cigarette as a souvenir? Or maybe a wind up smoking Herzl doll that has "Anti-Semitic shouting" in the background - wouldn't that be something for the kiddies to show Grandma?
