The Palestinian Museum is a cultural institution located in Birzeit in the central West Bank that presents exhibitions on Palestinian history, culture and contemporary art. The building incorporates galleries, temporary exhibition space and facilities for education and research.

Collections and programs cover topics such as social history, visual arts and documentary projects, and the museum runs public programs and educational initiatives. The architectural design and siting were intended to provide exhibition and meeting space for local and international audiences.

The museum opened in 2016 following years of planning and fundraising and has since hosted rotating exhibitions and programs. It functions as a cultural and educational centre for Palestinian heritage and contemporary cultural production.

The museum is located in Birzeit, in the West Bank, on the hills north of Ramallah and is accessed via the regional road network serving towns in central Palestinian territories.

• Opening and architect: Opened to the public in 2016 and designed by the international practice Heneghan Peng, with a focus on Palestinian history, art and education.

The Palestinian Museum is located in Birzeit on the outskirts of Ramallah. By car it is a short drive north from Ramallah (typically around 10-20 minutes depending on traffic). Regular shared taxis/mini-buses run between Ramallah and Birzeit; from the main road or village center it’s a short walk to the museum building.

• Check the Palestinian Museum's website for current opening hours and any exhibition-specific visitor rules before you travel, as times can change.
• Combine the museum visit with nearby Birzeit sites (town centre, local galleries or university) and allow extra time for local traffic or checkpoints when planning your schedule.
