| Title Proper | Agricultural and natural history museums in mandatory Palestine as generators of change in a renewed society |
| Language | ENG |
| Author | Dorot, Ruth ; Shay, Oded |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The establishment of agricultural and natural history museums in Jerusalem (1920) and Tel Aviv (1925) by individual and institutional Jewish entrepreneurs was a corollary of the wave of exhibitions and fairs in Western countries that swept across Mandatory Palestine’s Jewish community (Yishuv) in the 1920s. Yet it also reflected Zionist ideals and perceptions and as such served as a catalyst for providing modern agricultural education to the Yishuv’s urban classes. |
