Collection with models of among others the Tabernacle and the Temple Mount in a monumental canalside house with garden. The displays explain the significance of these sacred place in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Clay tablets, fragments of papyrus and archaeological remains tell the fascinating story of how the Bible came into existence and the influence it has had on Dutch society through the ages. About a thousand bibles are on display, including unique and rare examples. Through touch-screens one can discover all about the States Translation of 1637 and two wonderfully illustrated bibles from the 17th century. The collection of Egyptian antiquities is small, but of outstanding quality. In the Aroma cabinets visitors can discover and smell biblical aromas from alabaster jars. Besides the museum's permanent display, temporary exhibitions are also held.
The unique collection in a historical setting makes the Biblical Museum well worth visiting.
