The Slik Pavilion

Slik is a nickname for the underground hiding place for weapon

and secret documents. The word "Slik" came into wide use in the

period before the foundation of the state (of Israel), during the

British mandate rule. At that time, the "Hagana" organization built

sliks in many places in Israel, in order to supply weapon for the

protection of the different settling spots that were scattered all

over the land. Therefore, in this pavilion it's possible to find many

things that were used as sliks – tanks, tables, a fridge and even a
car!

Before the declaration of the foundation of the state (of Israel) in

1948, it was forbidden for organizations to hold weapons, and so
(they) held the weapons in secretly. Many tricks were found in

order to hide the weapons, and it's possible to find them in this

room. Here are some unique examples: a pistol in a book, a bomb

inside a milk jug, a gun inside a compressor and more. Today, the

IDF has no need to hide the weapons, but if you (pl.) would like to,

in a different pavilion (pavilion 16) it's possible to see who does

hide weapons today, and by what methods is it done.
