The darkened room at the new Museum of the Bible burst with an intense white beam as a booming voice telling the story of God’s creation of the heavens and the Earth. The world took shape with water and flora, a dragonfly glided through and the Garden of Eden appeared with Adam and Eve.
The third floor exhibit, located at the new museum just off the National Mall in Washington, is the most high-tech feature of the seven-floor tribute to the most-read, most-published and most-influential book in global history.
The venue, which opens to the public Saturday, aims to educate patrons about the Bible, showcasing original scrolls used to pen Holy Writ as well as copies of first editions.
