The Eretz IsraelMuseum was established in 1953 in Ramat Aviv.
Tel Quasile, an excavation in which 12 distinct layers of civilization have been uncovered, is part of the Museum, as well the Museum of the History of Tel Aviv-Jaffa and Independence Hall, where the State of Israel was proclaimed in 1948, both of which are in central Tel Aviv.
From a recent (2005) exhibit of early Israeli metalwork at the Eretz IsraelMuseum, this bronze laurel branch oil-burning menorah was designed by the sculptor and industrial designer Maurice Ascalon and manufactured by his Pal-Bell company in Tel-Aviv, Israel circa 1948.
Israel has no official written constitution; its government functions are based on the laws of the Knesset, especially by the "Basic Laws", which are special laws the Knesset legislate, (currently there are 15 of them), which will become together the future official constitution.
Israel is widely regarded as being an undeclared nuclear power -- it operates nuclear facilities and is generally believed to be in the possession of nuclear warheads, while it is not a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, no inspections from the outside take place, and the nation maintains a public policy of "nuclear ambiguity".
Israel is technically at war with Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, with previous declarations of war never being repealed by either side.
