Abstract
En 中文
During the first years after the establishment of the State of Israel, archeological museums were founded in all parts of the country. In this article, I will focus on the unique phenomenon of founding archeological museums in mosques that had served only a few years earlier as places of worship. Although this episode has been considered marginal by scholars, it can be seen to embody significant issues. First, it addresses the Israeli archeological establishment's approach to the heritage assets of Arab settlements. Second, it examines the role of the local landscape in shaping the perception of national land in Israel's periphery. Lastly, it explores differences regarding heritage within Israeli society itself.
