Dr. Chaim Weizmann's House
 

The Weizmann House

For an insider's view into the life of one of Israel's foremost figures, come visit The Weizmann House, home of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, first President of the State of Israel and founder of the Institute. With a view of the sea on one side and the Judean Hills on the other, the house was designed by the famous Jewish architect Eric Mendelsohn, and built between the years 1936-37. Fine chinaware, an extensive and lavishly furnished library, and even a swimming pool, modest by today's standards but perhaps an extravagance of fancy for its era, await visitors to this historical landmark. The visit includes a short screening of A King without a Kingdom, which describes Weizmann's efforts on behalf of the Zionist movement. According to his wishes, he was buried on the Institute grounds, close to the house that he loved.

Clore Garden of Science

Click here for the movie - Clore Garden of Science

Want to make waves? Play rock-music? View full-circled rainbows- by day or even by night? The Clore Garden of Science is about making these goals, some seemingly impossible, come true. It's also about exploring science in a unique environment.

Come experience what it's like to walk on the moon at the TrampoLuna, which "shaves off" over 80 percent of one's normal weight, and investigate the science behind diverse natural phenomena. Including over 50 large-scale exhibits, the Garden is sure to leave a lasting impression on children - ages 6 to 90.

The Clore Garden of Science is part of the Davidson Institute of Science Education, which leads, coordinates and operates the educational activities of the Weizmann Institute of Science.

The Solar Complex

Forty-four minutes of sunlight. That's all it takes to meet the energy demands of the earth's inhabitants for an entire year. For a taste of the power of creative scientific solutions in this field, come visit the Solar Complex, one of the most sophisticated solar research facilities in the world. The Complex contains 64 mirrors that are controlled by computers calculating the sun's position relative to the earth for every second of the year. Collecting sunlight in bright, arid regions to generate electricity, and creating solar-pumped lasers with significant potential in satellite communications - these and other ongoing projects are explained at the Solar Tower Observation Point.
