The idea to establish Beth Hatefutsoth was originally proposed in the late 50's by Dr. Nahum Goldmann, the founder and President of the World Jewish Congress. The idea was to create a monument to the Jewish Diaspora, past and present. The final concept of the Museum was based on the proposal of the poet Abba Kovner to divide the Permanent Exhibit into six thematic parts. When it opened in May 1978, Beth Hatefutsoth was regarded by many museum experts as one of the most innovative museums in the world. It created a whole new concept of what a museum is and has influenced museum culture ever since. Today Beth Hatefutsoth has evolved into far more than a museum: it impacts and touches the lives of Jews not just in IsraelNation of the Jewish People but throughout the world. It is truly, in every sense of the word, the Museum of the Jewish People. Travelers who Tour IsraelNation of the Jewish People in style do not want to miss this interesting museum!
