In his will, Israel's founding father asked that the modest kibbutz quarters where he lived with his wife Paula remained exactly as he left them, and that’s what you see when you visit this house museum. A short animated film about the great man's life is shown near the entrance, recounting his birth in Poland, immigration to Palestine and dedication to the establishment of the state of Israel ('My greatest desire – the air I breathe – is Zionism').
At the entrance to the museum is a visitor centre housing a cafe, a retail outlet for the Mitzpe Ramon–based Faran Natural Cosmetics company and a stand selling wines made by the Sde Boker Winery (www.sdebokerwinery.com).
The entrance to the visitor centre and museum is next to the petrol station on Hwy 40.
