Traveling Exhibit Program

The Museum circulates loan exhibits of objects and slides. The traveling exhibits include artifacts used during biblical times — largely from the original Tell en-Nasbeh excavations — such as lamps, oil juglets, cosmetic implements, sling stones, coins, and cooking pots. Labels, explanations and relevant Bible texts accompany the objects.

Several different slide sets are available to compliment the overall presentation and run an average of 30 minutes in length per show. A manuscript with an explanation of each slide accompanies the sets, which consist of 40–50 slides. All you need to do is provide the projector!

Borrowers pay the transportation expense to and from the Museum, in addition to a nominal service charge. These fees are to help maintain this program for future generations of enjoyment and we appreciate your support!
