As is typical of Jerusalem, you have potential great beauty obstructed by power cables and security fences. The signs require you to show proper respect, and inform you of the importance of this wall. People come all the time to pray, and will put into the cracks of the wall slips of paper with their requests in hopes that God will answer. They also gather on special occasions to pray for mercy and to give thanks. It is the closest to the "holy of holies" that you can get, and the only remnant of the temple.
Something. At the national museum. You're not allowed to take pictures insde. Some of the pictures are connected to an alarm that goes off if you stand to close to them.
Next to the museum is the shrine of the book. Contains Dead Sea Scrolls and the Aleppo Codex.
In front of the shrine is in interesting mobile that moves in the wind. If you like that sort of thing. (I do.)
