Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem
Description
The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem tells the story of humanity through a unique collection of rare artefacts from the lands of the ancient Near East – the Bible Lands.
Ancient ceramics, exquisite hand-crafted jewelry, artworks from the distant past, sculptures of extraordinary beauty, frescoes, and other priceless treasures are displayed throughout 20 galleries and special exhibition spaces. Visitors are drawn into intimate encounters with the cultures that formed the foundations of the Western world – ancient Egypt, Babylon, Canaan, Assyria, Sumer, Persia, Greece and Rome.
The Museum hosts a rich calendar of temporary exhibits, cultural events, tours, lectures and experiences which offer unique glimpses into the worlds inhabited by the men and women of the Near East in Biblical times.
