The Rishon LeZion Museum is an open museum located in the heart of the historic city, close to the Great Synagogue. The museum strives to present and pass on local history, as well as Rishon LeZion’s contribution to creating the national symbols and new Israeli cultural values: flag and anthem, Hebrew language and native Israeli culture.
