I was amazed at the new collection -- recently laid out in the museum's library -- of very rare, many one-of-a-kind Bibles. The audio tour helped us find special items to see such as the Eliott Bible in the Indian language. Also a chained Bible and the first Catholic Bible... a lot of firsts as I could tell.. and very,...

This museum features a variety of different types of art exhibits; all of which are inspired from the Bible. Paintings, sculptures, books, and video are all on display featuring a variety of insights into the interpretation of the stories in the Bible. While I did not care for the abstract modern art (which is not my personal taste anyway), the... More

Their collection is unimpressive. When I paid ($12) the desk clerk emphasized their "Michelangelos" - they are copies of his works, obviously. They have some impressive Marc Chagalls, but that's about it. Another poster wrote a similar review and I should have believed them. I also went to the Dallas Museum of Art downtown which is much, much better. There... More

It was pretty interesting. I guess I wasn't expecting much but this is a full fledged museum full of valuable artifacts that I didnt even know existed. Lots more content than I ever imagined. The staff was knowledgeable too.

One of Dallas' hidden jewels. Vladimer Gorsky's Tapestry of the Centuries is worth the trip alone. A great place to visit alone to allow time for spiritual reflection and to admire biblical art in its finest form.

I don't think you can beat seeing historical evidence of Christianity. It was impressive. The venue is large but it was well organized

We went for a special exhibit and it was a joke. We were very disappointed with the quality of all the exhibits. Overpriced. We won't be back.

I am a meeting planner and hosted 75 people for a tour and dinner. The feedback from the tour was excellent. The tour guides were professional and informative. The venue was beautiful and unique. We had dinner through Food Glorious Food and it was delicious. The staff at the museum did a wonderful job in setting the room with gold... More

Many different types of galleries! Definitely worth the trip. Especially enjoyed being able to see the art restorations in progress.
