The museum is located in a very well preserved historical building. While touring the museum visitors get an intimate introduction to the people of that time - where you learn about their hardships, disappointments, hopes, and victories. The museum features a structured tour which presents the historical sequence of the migration and includes innovative multi-media presentations, which are supplemented with historical documents, old photographs, authentic tools, and sculptures.
The museum is dedicated to Moshe and Sarah Aronson, one of the first settlers that arrived in 1882. Their story is exhibited through an exciting movie that attempts to chronicle their life in Israel. The museum has three floors and each one describes a different period in time.
Note: The term "aliyah" is the Hebrew word for "return". Essentially, aliyah means to return to one's homeland. When you hear someone refer to "making aliyah", they are referring to making the move to live in Israel.
