Bible Lands Museum
Biblical history through ancient Near Eastern art, from the dawn of civilization through the early Christian era.
The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem illustrates the cultures of all the peoples mentioned in the Bible - from Egypt eastwards across the Fertil Crescent to Afghanistan, and from Nubia north to the Caucasian mountains.
You will learn of the Philistines and the Arameans, the Hittites and the Elamites, the Poenicians and the Persians.
The Mesopotamians, the pyramid builders and the ancient Phoenicians are no longer with us. But the Bible, God's gift to Israel, is today found throughout a far wider world than of the ancient Israelites. The biblical vision became the basis of western civilisation and has shaped its history for centuries.
