The House of Anchors Museum

rating : 0 No votes yet

The House of Anchors Museum on Kibbutz Ein Gev is proof of how fishing in the Sea of Galilee goes back as far as the ancient settlement in the area. This small, specialized museum is dedicated almost completely to displaying anchors that were found in the Sea of Galilee, some of which are thousands of years old. Stone anchors, iron anchors, large anchors and small anchors all feature here.
Mendel Nun, a member of Kibbutz Ein Gev , researcher of the Sea of Galilee and fisherman in his past , established the museum. Fishing net sinkers also feature in the museum ,as do ritual stones and other related items. The walls of the Anchor Museum are adorned with drawings of the ancient harbors on the shores of  the Sea of Galilee as well as drawings of fish that are characteristic to the Sea of Galilee.
