Museum Treasures in the Walls

Located within the historic city walls of Acre, this folklore museum focuses on the traditional crafts and craftsmanship of the Akko region. Visitors go here to see exhibits that document local heritage and the manual skills historically practiced by the city's inhabitants.

Getting There

The museum is situated inside the Old City of Acre. Since the city center is compact and largely pedestrianized, it is most easily reached on foot. From the main entrance of the Old City, it is a short walk of a few minutes to reach the museum walls.

Visit Duration

Depending on your interest in regional folklore and craft history, allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to view the exhibits.

When to Visit

Visiting during the weekday mornings typically avoids the larger crowds associated with weekend tourism. Like many sites in the Old City, it can become crowded during peak holiday seasons.

Combining with Other Sites

Because of its central location, the museum is within walking distance of several other historical landmarks. You can combine your visit with the following nearby attractions, all located within 0.3km:

  • Hospitaller commandery of Saint-Jean-d'Acre
  • Jezzar Pasha Mosque
  • Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Acre
  • Muzeʼon ʻOkashi
