The museum created by the American Bible Society in July 2021 said it would be open to visitors until March 28. The Christian ministry nonprofit that translates Bibles and sends them around the world has recently been besieged with challenges including layoffs, funding troubles, and five CEO changes within two years.
That’s not really what they were talking about though. Museums are interesting. That’s why they exist. This particular museum was not at all an accurate representation, so I agree it shouldn’t exist. That doesn’t mean we should ignore the historical value of some of the things they did have.
Nope. Museums don’t exist to be interesting. Museums literally exist to promote historical FACTS. They are a testament to things that actually happened. Religious “museums” are the opposite of this. They selectively use facts to push a false agenda.
They are not the same.
Yes…which is why this particular museum doesn’t need to exist. But the artifacts that they do have are interesting and should be shown in a real museum.
