What is the best way to travel to Israel's many museums?
Is there a bus tour or just rent a car for this? I know the main one is open on Saturday, which is nice.
It is impossible to see all of them in one or two days. It is even unlikely that one would manage to do justice to all of the museums in one small region of Israel in a brief trip. As you know, Israel has more museums per capita than any other country in in the world.
Here is a good guide: http://ilmuseums.com/
In Jerusalem alone, one needs a few days to get through the majority of exhibits in some of the larger museums (such as the Israel Museum or the Bible Lands Museum). If you plan to see various sites in the Old City , it's worth looking into a special municipal tourist pass that discounts your entry fee to a number of sites. http://www.jerusalem.muni.il/jer_main/defaultnew.asp?lng=2

It's possible to purchase 1 and 2- day bus passes for a Jerusalem tourist bus that takes you around the city to major sites of interest ; you can get on and off at any of the museums and places listed here. http://www.egged.co.il/Eng/main.asp?lngCategoryID=2773
