Upon entering the new natural history museum in Tel Aviv, visitors are greeted by a vivid re-enactment of the great avian migrations from Africa to Europe through northern Israel\u2019s Hula Valley, complete with stuffed hawks, pelicans and vultures circling around the ceiling of the building\u2019s entrance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 100,000-square-foot Noah\u2019s Ark-shaped building, which houses more than 5.5 million specimens of species from around the globe, opened this week alongside the Tel Aviv University campus after more than two decades of planning.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the biggest natural history museum in the Middle East and Israel\u2019s national center for biodiversity studies, the\u00a0Steinhardt Museum of Natural History<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0highlights the country\u2019s ecological diversity at the crossroads of the three continents, as well as the impact of urban development, climate change, and man-made devastation on the region\u2019s ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main goal of the museum, according the curators, is to increase public awareness about the natural world and environment on a local and global scale.<\/span><\/p>\n
