Mosaic museum

Downstairs in the Beit El Dine (see another post), in what was likely servants quarters, storage rooms, stables, etc. is a mosaic museum. Most of these are floor mosaics in amazingly good condition. Some are from churches, and many are from ancient residences.
These mosaics were brought here to preserve them as the works of art they are. Inscriptions date them to the 5th and 6th century. It's probably obvious that I'm fascinated by mosaics. So it's no surprise to find another post about them.
Some are inside. Some are outdoors. I'll not comment further other than to invite your enjoyment of the extraordinary artistry required to create such work.Læs mere
