The Mizgaga Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away right on the sands of Nahsholim beach, the Mizgaga Museum is one of those wonderfully unexpected finds. You step inside this rustic 19th-century stone building and are immediately transported back to a time when this was a bustling glass factory. It’s not a stuffy, silent hall; the space feels alive with history, where you can almost hear the clink of bottles being made for a bygone era. The way the ancient arches frame views of the sparkling Mediterranean outside is just magical.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the museum is the original German-made furnace, still standing tall amidst a scatter of beautiful glass artifacts recovered from the site. Don't miss the collection of delicate bottles and jars, some still showing their original aquamarine hue, displayed alongside old photographs that tell the factory's story.
Visitor Information
Finding it is an adventure—look for the entrance near the hotel on Dor Beach. Honestly, combine your visit with a swim; there's nothing better than exploring ancient history and then cooling off in the sea just steps away.
Architecture & Building
A beautifully preserved industrial building made from local limestone, characterized by its grand arched windows and thick walls that once housed heavy machinery.
