IN the NEWS - Museum of the Bible opening Nov. 2017

In the beginning... Genesis 1:1

 The 430,000-square-foot Museum of the Bible is currently under construction in Washington, D.C. but this digital fly-through gives you some perspective on just what the eight floors will entail.

History of the Bible

Galleries on this floor follow the Bible from its origins as a series of writings accessible to only a small group of people, through many changes in form and adoption by multiple faith traditions, to the most widely read text in history.

Narratives of the Bible

On this floor, visitors will walk through the narratives of the Hebrew text from Genesis to Chronicles and then through first-century Nazareth, ending with the story of the New Testament.


Impact of the Bible

This floor will explore the Bible’s impact over time on cultures, civilizations, and daily life, including its profound influence on fine arts, science, government, music, film and more.

Bronze Doors

This grand entrance has a height of 40 feet and will be flanked by an architectural re-creation of the
printing bed of the first page of Genesis from the Gutenberg Bible, and is made of large bronze panels.

Digital Guide

State-of-the-art handheld museum navigation created exclusively for Museum of the Bible. Includes group tour coordination, restaurant reservations, personalized individual or family-guided tours.

Courageous Pages

Courage is the overriding theme of the kid’s area, packed with biblical stories of people who dug deep and did what they believed was right, even in the face of fear or opposition.


Digital Lobby Ceiling

Creating an awe-inspiring welcome for the museum guests, the 140-foot digital canvas will rotate throughout the day and set the tone for guest’s entire experience at Museum of the Bible.

Performing Arts Theater

This 500-seat performance theater will utilize digital mapping technology to surround audiences in an
environment that enhances what they are viewing on the stage.

Restaurant and Biblical Garden

In the spirit of the festive Middle Eastern outdoor marketplace, this restaurant will highlight the foods of the Bible. Guests can enjoy display kitchen viewing and take a stroll through a rooftop biblical garden.
