Wonderful learning experience - Great family activity! Loved the interactive learning displays. The relics and historical info were great! Don’t miss the Washington experience!

Exceeded expectations - The first thing to understand that this is really a history museum about the evolution of the Christian religions from the earliest Judaic writings of the Old Testament. Christian dogma will not be forced on you if you are not a follower of its faith. The videos are excellent. The pseudo motion ride is fun.

Worth a trip to DC just for this. - In DC for business, but had a little time to stop by the Museum. Wow - its probably worth planning a trip back to DC with this as the main agenda item on the list. Plan to spend some time here. Several interactive sections; + loads of historic bibles and much, much more.

A glorious museum to spend the day. - Wow, what a special place! The Bible museum has six floors of exhibits, theater shows, and an observation deck. Each section of the museum has a special focus on parts of the Bible and many quiet places to sit and soak it all in. There’s a section specifically for children to immerse themselves in the world of the Bible. The entrance of the museum begins with sculptures representing the Stations of the Cross and if you look up onto the ceiling, there’s a beautiful video screen that changes every couple of minutes. The gift shop is excellent and offers some unique items to purchase. The prices are very reasonable! There’s also a restroom on every floor, and that’s very convenient if you need to take a restroom break and then continue with the tour of the museum. I spent three hours there and honestly could have stayed much longer if I’d had the time available.

Quite an Experience! - This is a must see! We were amazed at the wealth of information that this museum held. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk-thrus and our interaction with those portraying characters of the times.

I spent 5 hours perusing the museum and still did not get to all floors. So much information.6788 - The museum was amazing. I learned a lot about Bible that I didn’t know. I glad I have a little bit more than a layman’s knowledge but still , there’s so much to see and learn. I especially liked the interactive parts such as the Passover meals in different cultures.

Awesome Experience ! - The best experience of the Bible Museum was the 3rd floor exhibits (Stories of the Bible). The recreation of a biblical village was very inspiring. It places you in a time of simplistic and manual living. The animated stories of the Bible exhibit, were very creative and interactive. I think it was the most exciting event there. I wholly recommend this location when visiting Washington DC. It's truly a unique experience!

They try to present the academics of the Bible as well as promoting its faith and end up doing neither well. - I’m glad I had a Groupon for 1/2 off because the admission is entirely too steep for a city of free museums. It’s good. I learned a lot but definitely don’t feel that it advanced my faith at all. The museum is disingenuous in their labels and present a lot of what they have as original when it’s only reproductions. We went to see the new New Testament experience and it was a huge let down. The cafe was exceedingly overpriced but there’s no other food options nearby so you’re stuck. The gift shop needs improvement. If you’re just going to see a Gutenberg Bible, you can see that for free at the Library of Congress, however they do have a lot of other bibles and archaeological artifacts if you can discern from the labels what is genuine and what is a reproduction.

Hokey at best. - I set my sights way too high. This was hokey. Mostly videos and weird walks between videos. If you know the Bible, you will learn nothing. Not worth $30.

If you're into replicas and disappointment this might be a good time! - I guess the museum is neat in theory. However, my husband and I were both disappointed that the majority of the items on display were either marked "removed" for various reasons or marked facsimile (a copy, meaning they aren't real). The kids area isn't monitored and there were several older teens that were clearly too big for the play area so my toddler couldn't play. All of the other museums have very monitored children's areas and even restrict access to adults without children. The security at the doors were awfully rude and uptight for it to be a bunch of replica items, move some of the security to the kids area! If someone steals this stuff, just print another! We weren't allowed to exit without going through the gift shop even though we had a screaming child. Once we exited the gift shop we were questioned by the same security guard about sitting on a bench outside of the gift shop. There was a guy walking around in a plaid blazer and tennis shoes, kinda looked like a reject from Rascal Flats giving everyone weird looks. He must've been the manager and just made you feel uncomfortable. It was like being at a church where you knew you weren't welcome and they were judging you. I guess what I'm trying to say is the artifacts aren't the only thing fake here! As a Christian this place honestly breaks my heart because I know this could be the only taste of Jesus some people see! This place needs to get it together and start loving God's people! For there to be so much imitation in this museum they need to start imitating Jesus!
