Bible Lands Museum

The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem illustrates the cultures of peoples mentioned in the Bible such as the Philistines, Arameans, the Hittites and the Elamites, the Phoenicians and the Persians. It is an historical and archaeological museum, not a museum of religion. The museum aims to put the lands in which the Bible originated into historical context.
