The exhibition tells the story of three ancient biblical cities: Laish/Dan, Gezer, and Aroer.
Four major themes are presented in the museum: fortifications, Canaanite burial customs, portrayal of the human image, and ritual practices at an Israelite cult center. Other subjects on display are the earliest (Proto-Canaanite) alphabet known in Israel, dating from the 15th century BCE., incised on storage jars from Gezer, the settlement of the tribe of Dan in the 12th century BCE at Tel Dan, and the trade emporium of Aroer in the Negev in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE on the caravan route connecting Arabia with the ports of the Mediterranean shore.
