King Herod holds a special place in the Bible, in no small part due to his attempt to murder the baby Jesus. But not all of Herod's legacy has been blighted by his murderous intentions, as he is also credited with many buildings projects across Judae. Most famously, Herod was responsible for the renovation of Jerusalem's Second Temple and the expansion of the Temple Mount.
The first exhibition entirely dedicated to Herod the Great, Israel’s greatest builder and one of the most controversial figures in Jewish history. Large reconstructions and new finds from Herod’s palaces in Herodium, Jericho, and other sites are on display. Exhibited to the public for the veryfirst time, these artifacts shed new light on the political, architectural, and aesthetic influence of Herod’s rule (37-4 BCE). Herod’s tomb - discovered at Herodium after a 40-year search by the late Prof. Ehud Netzer of the Hebrew University - holds pride of place. The exhibition is held in memory of Prof. Netzer, who fell to his death in 2010 on the site of his discovery.
Near the mausoleum of King Herod the Great at Herodium, three stone sarcophagi were discovered in fragments - two light-colored and one reddish (on display here). The reddish sarcophagus was decorated in an opulent but restrained fashion with rosettes and palmettes. It was found smashed into hundreds of pieces scattered about the area. We assume that even though Herod’s name does not appear on it, this sarcophagus held the king’s body and was destroyed by the Jewish rebels who vented their anger upon it.
