A museum on Yosef Rivlin Street in central Jerusalem, opened in 2015, whose hour-long guided multimedia tour tells of non-Jews who supported the return of the Jewish people to its land

The Friends of Zion Museum opened in 2015 in the heart of Jerusalem with the help of thousands of supporters of Israel around the world. Its site says it is a technologically advanced, interactive experience telling the story of the dream to restore the Jewish people to its historic homeland and of the non-Jews who helped realise it, Christian Zionists among them. A visit is a guided tour of about an hour, booked in advance and offered in 16 languages, and the museum also shows an exhibit of holograms of Israel's prime ministers. Its site says it is a non-profit organisation supported by friends from all over the world, and that it serves as a platform for fighting BDS and antisemitism.
