Netanya City Museum gives useful context to a place many visitors experience mainly through beaches and clifftop promenades. Its exhibits focus on the city's founding, immigrant communities, citrus-era growth, and development into a coastal resort city.
It is a modest museum, but worthwhile if you want Netanya to feel like more than a beach base. Pair it with a walk along the promenade to connect the city's history with its present-day seafront identity.
