Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem
Biblical history through ancient Near Eastern art, from the dawn of civilization through the early Christian era.

To our Fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
To my brothers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
To Raizl and sister Fela and their children
To all our brothers and sisters martyred
To Their Sacred Memory we shall be devoted
and for future generations
To prepare our hearts to discern
To harken to learn and to teach
To know our past
To understand and to love each other
and ador knowledge and the Glory of G-d
To walk in the path of Peace
This House is lovingly dedicated

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.
