Museum of the Bible

Nestled just three blocks from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., the Museum of the Bible is a remarkable, 430,000‑square‑foot institution designed to inspire and educate visitors of all backgrounds.

Mission & Experience

A global, innovative educational hub, the museum invites everyone—whether curious newcomers or lifelong students—to engage with the transformative power of the Bible through cutting-edge, interactive exhibits. Visitors explore more than 4,000 years of history; rare artifacts from the Green Collection (some of the world’s largest private holdings of biblical manuscripts and texts) are showcased alongside immersive digital media and VR experiences.

Four Pillars of Impact

Founded in 2010, the institution’s vision is anchored in four guiding pillars:

• Education: From K–12 programs and virtual tours to speaker series and curriculum resources.
• The DC Museum: The heart of public engagement, offering permanent, temporary, and traveling exhibits.
• Research: The Scholars Initiative supports academic collaboration worldwide, training students and faculty to study artifacts and biblical texts firsthand.
• Traveling Exhibits: Bringing curated experiences to global audiences beyond D.C.
