Bible Museum

Opened in 1998, the Bible Museum in Stuttgart's Bibelhaus presents a permanent exhibition about the book that is more widely read and has been translated into more languages than any other – the bible. It also features information about the history and significance of the bible on our lives. There are bibles from the Middle Ages, when books were first printed, from the period of Reformation and even electronic bibles. In addition to the vast collection of fascinating information about the history, tradition, translation and worldwide importance of the bible, all presented as conventional museum-style exhibits, visitors can also “hear, smell and feel” the bible thanks to the new interactive approaches. The exhibition includes a nomad tent, where you can smell frankincense and myrrh, listen to biblical stories with oriental sounds in the background, all under a starry sky as if you were in Jerusalem. Closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Guided tours on request.
