Also relevant, on the IDF website note this Invitation to the Grand Opening of the Good Samaritan Mosaic Museum. Excerpt:
The site, identified with the biblical city of Ma'ale Adumin, is now home to the first museum of its kind in Israel and one of the largest in the world, which will display mosaics and other archeological findings discovered in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip. Additional exhibits include mosaics and artifacts from Jewish and Samaritan synagogues, as well as various objects found in Christian churches.
