Museum of the Bible

This large museum a few blocks from the National Mall is devoted to the history, narrative, and cultural impact of the Bible. Opened in 2017 in a converted refrigeration warehouse, it spans several floors with immersive walk-through exhibits, rare manuscripts, and interactive displays. Sections trace the text's translation, transmission, and influence on art, music, and society, and a rooftop garden offers views toward the Capitol. The institution has drawn both large audiences and scholarly scrutiny over some of its early acquisitions.
