This is a must stop for all who are interested in Biblical history and anthropology and cultures of the region. I have visited this museum many times with international guests who were all fascinated to learn about the Samaritans. HaKohen Yefet and his team have done a great job documenting the history and faith of the Samaritan Israelites and building displays. I highly recommend visiting the Samaritan museum on Mount Gerizim.

The Bethlehem Museum is dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for Palestine's heritage, identity, culture and art. The museum serves to increase understanding of Palestine through the eyes of Bethlehem natives, by highlighting the role they have played in preserving Christianity in the Holy Land for two millennia, and recovering Palestinian treasures from around the world.

The museum offers archeological remains, including magnificent mosaics from the Byzantine period, an ancient building and church and a courtyard displaying a variety of archeological findings. One of the museum’s wings is dedicated to the story, history and customs of the Samaritan community. We recommend rounding up your visit at the Moshe Castel Museum of Art in Ma’ale Adummim. The entrance to the Martyrius and Euthymius sites is for groups only, by prior arrangement.
I am so glad we visited the Samaritan Inn. It’s a treasure trove of beautiful mosaics garnered from Synagogues and Churches all over ISRAEL. One can only gaze in awestruck sober at the artistry of the intricate mosaics. It is also worth noting the dedication of the restoration work. The ancient cave o the property is converted into a wee cinema and the film on the Good Samaritan is worth viewing. All in all it was worth the hours we spent there. It is quite easy to see most of the mosaics even if you have difficulty walking.

In 1947, Bedouin shepherds discovered over 2,000 year old Jewish religious scrolls, reflecting perfect copies of Books from the Jewish Tanakh and now contained within the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. Remarkably well-preserved due to the dry desert environment, the scrolls were stored in pottery jars, hidden within difficult to access, hillside caves. The complete Book of Isaiah was written in the 2nd Century BCE, on 17 sheets of leather, stitched & scrolled together, nearly 24 feet in length. Ultimately, through decades of archeological explorations, hundreds of parchment and papyrus scrolls have been revealed. Dating from 3 centuries BC through the first century AD, it is believed that the scrolls were secreted from the invading Romans. Meticulously transcribed by the Jewish, Essene religious sect, evidence of their village and strict, severe lifestyle have also been excavated. A short film introduces the viewer to this fascinating history, claimed to be the most significant archeological discovery, a true miracle of the preservation of God's written word. Traveling with my adult son, we explored the vast area, with my son scaling the mountain cliffs up to one of the accessible caves. Views of the Dead Sea and the mountains of Jordan beyond are breath-taking during the varying transitions of sunrise and sunset. A restaurant at this location also makes for a nice rest stop. This was one of the highlights of our trip throughout the Holy Land.
