ABOUT THE MUSEUM OF BIBLICAL ART
The Museum of Biblical Arts is a museum that studies the history of Judaism and Christianity. We do not espouse either faith, but we seek to explain the history of these two faiths, their impacts on the history of the world, the history of art, and upon individuals/groups.
The story of Passover is a familiar one to most of us. It's the story of slavery and freedom, belief in one almighty power (G-d), and the journey to the promised land of Israel. It highlights the powerful figures of the time and their impact on the lives of individuals and communities. We continue to feel the impact of this story in our current events today.
In fact, any inspiration from the Jewish Bible (Tanach), often referred to as the Old Testament will be acceptable for this show. You are welcome to contact us if you have questions.
