Bible Lands Museum

The Bible Lands Museum was housed in the John T. Christian Library. It is currently in a temporary room in the Dodd Building (Dodd 201). The administration of NOBTS has accepted a proposal to reestablish the Bible Lands Museum on the grounds of the seminary.

The collection contains artifacts for the following exhibits/displays:
