The revolutionary discovery that copper ore could be converted into metallic copper stands at the heart of the story of the Nechushtan Pavilion.
The pavilion has a restored copper mine and melting facilities from different eras. The permanent pavilion space, which was set up in the 60s, has undergone extensive renovation and redesign. The preservation of the restoration of the miners' cave from the Stone Age creates an exhilarating experience for visitors by a spatial contrast:restoration of a cave from the Bronze Age and a modern museum space with Bauhaus influences.
