• Jumba la Makumbusho ya Mambo ya Kale ya Palestina: mwendelezo wa Palestina ya marehemu ya Ottoman na Palestina ya Mamlaka ya Uingereza pia unaonekana katika kuanzishwa na mikusanyo ya Jumba la Makumbusho ya Mambo ya Kale ya Palestina. Mnamo mwaka 1918, karibu mara tu baada ya kuukalia Yerusalemu, Gavana wa Kijeshi wa Uingereza, Sir Ronald Storrs, alichukua uamuzi wa kuanzisha Jumba la Makumbusho ya Mambo ya Kale ya Palestina huko Yerusalemu. Jiwe la msingi la jumba hilo liliwekwa tarehe 19 Juni 1930. Jumba la makumbusho lilifunguliwa mwaka 1938 kama makumbusho ya 'kitaifa' (si ya kibiblia) na lilifanywa kwa kuigwa majumba ya kisasa ya Ulaya. Jumba la Makumbusho ya Mambo ya Kale ya Palestina (lililopewa jina jipya na Israeli baada ya mwaka 1967 kuwa 'Rockefeller Museum') lina mabaki ya kihistoria, vito na mosaiki kutoka kipindi cha Neolithic hadi vipindi vya Byzantine, pamoja na vipindi vya Kiislamu vya zama za kati na vya kisasa. Pamoja na vitu vya kale vya Neolithic, jumba hilo lina mabaki ya miti ya dari ya Msikiti wa al-Aqsa wa karne ya 8, na kiinua mlango kilichochongwa kwa umaridadi kutoka Kanisa la Holy Sepulchre, kutoka wakati wa Wanajeshi wa Msalaba wa Kilatini. Urithi wa Neolithic, wa kale, wa zama za kati na wa kisasa wa Palestina umejumuishwa kikamilifu katika jumba hili la makumbusho. Jumba la Makumbusho ya Mambo ya Kale ya Palestina lilichukua mikusanyo ya Jumba la Kifalme la Ottoman la Makumbusho ya Mambo ya Kale huko Yerusalemu, jumba la kwanza la makumbusho ya mambo ya kale kuanzishwa katika Palestina ya marehemu ya Ottoman, lililoanzishwa mwaka 1890 na kuwepo hadi mwaka 1930. Mikusanyo ya jumba hilo iliendelea kwanza na Jumba la Makumbusho ya Mambo ya Kale ya Palestina la Uingereza (1921‒1930) na kisha na Jumba la Makumbusho ya Mambo ya Kale ya Palestina. Katalogi ya Ottoman iliyoandikwa kwa mkono ya mwaka 1910 ya Jumba la Kifalme la Makumbusho ya Mambo ya Kale huko Yerusalemu imenusurika maktaba ya Rockefeller Museum, ambako inaitwa 'Pre-War Catalogue of the Palestine Archaeological Museum' (St Laurent with Taşkömürl 2013: 22‒23).

• Palestine Archaeological Museum: continuities of late Ottoman Palestine and Mandatory Palestine are also found in the creation and collections of the Palestine Archaeological Museum. In 1918, almost immediately after the occupation of Jerusalem, the British Military Governor Sir Ronald Storrs took the decision to establish the Palestine Archaeological Museum in Jerusalem. The cornerstone of the Palestine Archaeological Museum was laid on 19 June 1930. The museum opened in 1938 as a ‘national’ (not biblical) museum and was modelled on modern European museums. The Palestine Archaeological Museum (renamed by Israel after 1967 as the ‘Rockefeller Museum’) contains historical artefacts, jewels and mosaics from the Neolithic through the Byzantine periods, and through the medieval Islamic and modern periods. Together with ancient Neolithic artefacts, the museum has the remains of 8th-century wooden beams from the al-Aqsa Mosque, and an elaborately carved lintel from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, from the time of the Latin Crusaders. The Neolithic, ancient, medieval and modern heritage of Palestine is all encapsulated in this museum. The Palestine Archaeological Museum absorbed the collections of the Ottoman Imperial Museum of Antiquities in Jerusalem, the first archaeological museum to be set up in late Ottoman Palestine, which was founded in 1890 and existed until 1930. The latter’s collections continued first with the British Palestine Museum of Antiquities (1921‒1930) and then with the Palestine Archaeological Museum. That a 1910 handwritten Ottoman Catalogue of the Imperial Museum of Antiquities in Jerusalem has survived in the library of the Rockefeller Museum, where it is called the ‘Pre-War Catalogue of the Palestine Archaeological Museum’ (St Laurent with Taşkömürl 2013: 22‒23).
