In the heart of the old town of Bethlehem, just steps away from the Church of the Nativity and the Mosque of Omar, is this ancient museum that tells the folk and heritage history of this ancient city. This museum includes two houses that represent the typical classical architecture in Bethlehem. Since the establishment of the museum in 1971 AD by the Women's Union Society, the house has been filled with folklore pieces and traditional household items that were donated by Bethlehem families from their private properties. In this antiques, you will find a special section for traditional Palestinian dresses, as well as a special section for tools that were used in homes in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and a number of old documents and photos.
