About
All the information about the Burned House Museum, Ketros House: the audio-visual light exhibit in the Burned House Museum, Ketros House takes visitors on a journey into the past, in which the city of Jerusalem is divided between the wealthy and the poor, and a civil war breaks out between them. The exhibit presents the story of the Ketros family, one of the priestly families in Jerusalem from the Second Temple period, who lived in a splendid residence, and the story of the Jews who lived there at that time. The father of the family is not willing to leave the house; the family gets caught up in the Great Revolt, the outbreak of the Romans' entry into the city, and the fall of the Second Temple. In addition, the museum displays items and archaeological remains that were found on the site during the excavations, such as a broken stone weight with an inscription in Hebrew script, a metal spear, remains of an arm of a young woman, and jars and utensils.
