The Arafat Museum in Ramallah was opened in November 2016 and is located at the site of the destroyed presidential palace and former headquarters (Mukata) of the PLO chief Y. Arafat, to whose underground rooms (bunkers) it has direct access. The museum describes the history of Palestine from a Palestinian perspective and is (understandably) not neutral, but very informative.
