The museum presents the story of Modiin from the time of the Hasmonean Family till the establishment of the modern city, all by way of instinctive and hands on programming. Visitors of the museum enjoy displays, entrance to a project room consisting of four fun activities, and a special effects movie ride that takes participants through time, from the Hasmoneans to the development of the modern city.

The museum is in the central heart of Modiin so as to connect the earlier city to the present city, and its commercial areas with its rich cultural venues.
Historical sources and sights of the area were the inspiration for the founding of the museum.
