Secrets of Huqoq at the Yigal Allon Center Museum

EXHIBITION: Secrets of Huqoq revealed: New exhibition provides first glimpse of ancient Jewish village. New artifact and photographic exhibition housed on the shores of the Sea of Galilee and overlooking the Horvat Huqoq site showcases site's original Samson floor mosaic, alongside a bronze coin cache’s premier public display (Israel National News).

Horvat Huqoq, visible from the museum’s windows, is best known for the impressive ancient synagogue uncovered by the Huqoq expedition excavations, led by Professor Jodi Magness of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Extraordinary in their beauty and narrative richness, including rare biblical and extra-biblical scenes, the range of the Huqoq mosaics are unequalled by any other synagogue in Israel.
