Housed in a building dating from the British Mandate, this small museum provides an overview of the town’s history. Exhibits include locally excavated gold coins from the 8th to 15th century, a collection of traditional products of Arab soap manufacture from the early 20th century and a display on the 1948 Arab–Israeli War in and around Ramla.
