*Old Yishuv Court Museum: 6 Rehov Or HaHaim, Jewish Quarter. A house with a courtyard, it was partially destroyed in 1948 and subsequently restored and turned into a museum (in 1976) to reflect the life of the Jewish community of the Old City from the middle of the 19th century until the end of Ottoman rule in 1917.
