Tulkarm Museum is a Palestinian archaeological and cultural heritage museum, established in 1996 by Tulkarm Municipality and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (Palestine). It is located in the city of Tulkarm in the West Bank.[1][2][3]
Description
[edit | edit source]The museum is housed in a historic building constructed in 1908 and is the main museum in the northern West Bank. It was opened in 1996. It houses artifacts from various eras and welcomes delegations, tourists, visitors, and students from all regions and countries.[4][5][6]
