Bible Lands Museum

Bible Lands Museum (Hebrew: מוזיאון ארצות המקרא) is located in Jerusalem.
The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem is the only museum in the world dedicated to the History of the Bible and the Ancient Near East.

The Museum opened its doors to the public on May 11, 1992 and has since earned international acclaim as a universal center for cultural and educational programming.

Tracing History from the dawn of civilization to the early Christian era, this priceless collection of rare and exquisite ancient treasures is displayed chronologically allowing the visitor a walk through History.

A guided tour through the museum traces the development of religious beliefs, worship, trade, commerce and communication from the beginning of urbanization through the Talmudic period.

The museum is designed to give the visitor a glimpse of the world of the Bible. The exhibition highlights the relationship between the spiritual and physical worlds, following in the footsteps of man’s quest for the transcendental, and covers the initial stages of the monotheistic religions: Judaism and Christianity.

These objects were made, used and valued by people long ago. They were part of everyday life, were used in religious rituals and demonstrate the origins of communication.
The founder of this amazing Musem is Dr. Elie Borowski. Dr. Borowski leaves a legacy for future generations in the museum that he founded.
