The center was erected on the foundations of a top secret power station known as “Reading G” or “J’ora.” Built in 1954-1956 to supply power in the event of an enemy bombing, it was financed in part by the
German reparations agreement .
A permanent exhibition at the Rabin Center is dedicated to the history of society and democracy in Israel with the life of Yitzhak Rabin serving as a connecting thread between the various sections.
