The D.C. Bible Museum and the IAA

ALLIANCE: D.C. Bible Museum To Borrow Ancient Artifacts From Israel. First displays, when museum branch goes live in 2017, will include glassware, stoneware and a Philistine altar from the Canaanite period (Jewish Business News).

“The Israel Antiquities Authority is thrilled and proud to partner with the Museum of the Bible on this landmark project. Making the archaeological heritage of the Land of Israel and the vital archaeological work conducted by the IAA available and accessible to people around the world is our mission. The rare opportunity to have a long-term exhibition in the U.S. Capital of a large selection of archaeological treasures that were excavated in Israel and illuminate the story of the Bible is remarkable. We hope that the many expected visitors will enjoy the archaeological exhibits and learn about the periods and descriptions of the Bible and the rich and diverse history and the archaeology of the Holy Land,” said Israel Hasson, Director of the Israel Antiquities Authority.
