The Visitors’ Center – Mevoah

The new Entrance Plaza and Visitors’ Center were completed in October 2003.
The Mevoah serves as the bridge between the visitor’s everyday life and the unique atmosphere of the Yad Vashem site, and prepares the visitor for the experience awaiting him here.
The Visitors’ Center provides various services for the visitors’ convenience, such as information services, audio-guide rental, cafeteria, bookshop, parking and toilets.

The new Visitors’ Center at Yad Vashem was inaugurated in October 2003.

The Entrance Plaza is situated at the entrance to Yad Vashem, between the Wall in Tribute to the Survivors (in the background) and the Visitors’ Center.

The entrance level of the Visitors’ Center serves as a meeting point and gathering place.  The staff at the information desks provide information and advice on route options in several languages, as well as selling brochures and maps. At the adjacent desk, the visitor may hire an audio-guide, offering a fascinating, comprehensive guided tour of the Museum. 

The Book and Resource Center, inaugurated in September 2003, is situated next to the Visitors’ Center and is run by the “Steimatzky” chain.
