Overview
Set up to be a Tower and Stockade settlement in 1939, Kibbutz Negba successfully defeated the Egyptian Army and held onto the kibbutz in the War of Independence. At the museum, learn about the major events of modern history of Israel, current-day Negba and about kibbutz life.
You can see the reconstructed Tower and Stockade, the shell-scarred water tower, an abandoned Egyptian tank, and the first tractor to plough in Negba.
