A day at the museum

Anyone visiting London will be pleased to know that the British Museum is back to normal opening times and viewing.

After a recent tour with Moorlands College students I returned impressed as ever with what a fabulous, free-to-visit resource this museum provides for anyone interested in the historical credibility of the Bible.

The various exhibits related to the history of the Bible are well described in the Day One guide by Brian Edwards and Clive Anderson, Through the British Museum with the Bible. Of particular note is that the curators have placed together a number of tablets which make reference to people or events we know from the Bible. They are in a display case in Room 55. Seeing them together in one place makes their value particularly striking.
