their Rare Scripture Collection
The MCCLC invites you to a tour of the Museum of Biblical Art and their impressive biblical library, with one of the world’s largest collections of rare scriptures.
“Almost 200 years ago, the American Bible Society established a biblical library that aimed to document the history of Bible translation and Bible publication. Through gifts and an ambitious acquisitions policy, the Library grew throughout the 19th century and today it constitutes one of the world's largest collections of printed Scriptures.“
The mission of the museum is the following.
“The Museum of Biblical Art celebrates and interprets art related to the Bible and its cultural legacy in Jewish and Christian traditions through exhibitions, education and scholarship.”
