Visitors are able to explore the dwelling places of weavers, farmers and fishermen, and the workshop of a carpenter, potter and stone mason. House furnishings and tools of the trades are explained using hand-held AR (augmented reality) devices.
In a room beyond the archway is a replica fishing boat and a detailed model of a synagogue. Above that room is seating for a video theatre. From there the sloping roof forms a “hillside” leading down to a model of lake-side Capernaum.
