Temple Model

In Jerusalem, at the Israel Museum, you can view a 50:1 scale model of Jerusalem during the Second Temple Period (Herod's Temple). Completed in 1966 by Michael Avi-Yonah, it provides a terrific visual of what Jerusalem looked like during Jesus' day and shortly before it was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.
