Unique and rich in history, Santa Clarita’s Passages museum exhibit has delighted many visitors with its more than 400 biblical artifacts and texts since opening in April.

Passages, hosted by Museum of the Bible, includes Dead Sea Scrolls, replicas of the Gutenberg press, and a microfiche copy of the Bible carried aboard Apollo 14 on its mission to the moon.

The artifacts and exhibits presented at Passages on Bouquet Canyon Road will be offered until February 2016. Those interested in learning more about the Bible’s history and influence on the world can visit the museum and its newest exhibit, “A.D. The Bible Continues.”

“A.D. The Bible Continues,” which opened Nov. 3, is curated in collaboration with 20th Century Fox to celebrate the release of the series on DVD and Blu-ray.
