The Ramallah Museum is located in the old town of Ramallah. Originally, the building was the private home of the Al-Zaro family, a native of the city. It consists of three floors: the basement was built in the early 19^th century, while the upper two floors were added in the early 20^th century.

The Museum was restored by the Department of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage in 1997-1998 as part of the "Emergency Clearance Campaign of 100 Archaeological Sites in Palestine," funded by the Dutch government in order to utilize it as an educational museum in the Ramallah Governorate. The rehabilitation work was supported by UNESCO.

The centre consists of exhibition halls, a lecture room, a library and a mosaics laboratory. In addition to the display of artifacts, the Museum targets local students, specifically adolescents, and offers educational programmes designed to provide students with a wealth of information on cultural heritage, within the framework of the national school curriculum. It also serves as a "Cultural Heritage Resource Centre," to contribute to the conservation and management of the cultural heritage of the city and the area of Ramallah. It aims to promote and follow up on cultural heritage preservation in the West Bank and Gaza in a more effective way.

The Museum is located in Ramallah’s old town. For more information call 02-295 9561.
