I would like to personally invite you and your students to the museum to experience the Dead Sea Scrolls, among the most significant ancient manuscripts ever discovered. This exhibit will be at the museum beginning November 22, 2025, visitors will have the rare chance to encounter these ancient treasures up close, but only until September 7, 2026. This extraordinary exhibit offers an unparalleled window into the ancient world, making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience you and your students will not want to miss.
From interactive exhibits to state-of-the-art technology, Museum of the Bible delivers an award-winning experience for guests of all ages. But what makes this opportunity even more impactful is the way the museum connects the past to today’s classrooms through our engaging educational programming.
