Following the movies, we made our way through the collection, which was amazing! Ancient artifacts, clear descriptions, and clever displays held our interest for quite a while. We found ourselves in an exhibit called, “The People of the Land: History and Archology of Ancient Israel.” We watched two short movies, one on the Land of the Bible and one on the Coinage of the Ancient World. The very ambiance of the museum was delightful! Did I mention that this museum was visually stunning? Full of light and windows, wide hallways and elevators that were full of pictures of the gallery. We quickly decided to start on the top floor and make our way down. Our group started on the main floor, checking out the Vatican Museums and Library as we waited for everyone to gather these are quite beautiful. It is also impeccably clean with a staff that is pleasant, welcoming, and helpful. Visually the Museum is stunning and state of the art. We arrived at 10 a.m and stayed until closing and could easily have come back for another day or two or three.
Our group included international evangelists with Louis Palou Ministries, a Pastor of 40+ years, a Rabbi, an author and podcaster from Israel, a Psychologist, college student, high school student, and a few wives- all of whom are very involved in ministry, education, and travel. So, it was no surprise that on our recent trip to Washington, D.C., we took a day to visit the Museum of the Bible. We are museum go-ers, history lovers, and knowledge gather-ers.
