Description

Essentials about the Bijbels Museum in brief

For people of faith and those interested in the Bible, the Bijbels Museum (Bible Museum) is definitely worth a visit. Housed in an old 17th-century merchant’s house on the Herengracht, it houses a collection of Bibles and other religious items from the Judeo-Christian tradition. The museum’s most prominent exhibit is the oldest Bible printed in the Netherlands, the so-called “Delftse Bijbel” from 1477. In addition, the museum houses, among other things, a collection of archaeological objects from ancient Egypt, such as lamps, pottery and coins, a model of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and a replica of the Tabernacle.
