The Museum of the Bible is a museum in Washington, D.C., United States, owned by Museum of the Bible, Inc., a nonprofit Christian missionary organization established in 2010 by the Green family. The museum documents the narrative, history, and impact of the Bible. The museum, which opened on November 17, 2017, exhibits around 1,500 objects and artifacts, ranging across 4,000 years of history. Carlos A. Campo has overseen the museum since his appointment as CEO in June 2024. The museum states that it had 453,000 guests in 2024, bringing total admissions to date past 3 million. Though the museum claims it is nonsectarian and “is not political, and it will not proselytize”, members of the board of directors sign a “faith statement” regarding the truth of the Bible. In the year before its launch, the museum fielded questions about the acquisition of its collection, including a federal case over smuggled Iraqi antiquities and thousands of clay artifacts, as well as the provenance of some of its exhibits. The museum’s dedication ceremony received an official pontifical blessing from Pope Francis. The Museum of the Bible charges for admission. The museum features several dining options.
