The Palestine Heritage Museum

Notes

Established in 1962 as the Folkloric Heritage Center by Hind al-Husseini, the museum showcases the rich cultural legacy of Palestine. Al-Husseini’s visionary leadership in collecting and preserving heritage artifacts from Palestinian villages and cities since 1948 has been instrumental in safeguarding the nation’s history from loss or theft. The museum has a collections and documentation section, a conservation laboratory, and a research section. In 2012, the institution adopted the name Palestinian Heritage Museum/Dar al-Tifel al-Arabi Association.
