Step into the world of the Bible!
Allow us to unravel ancient mysteries and take you millennia into the past to better understand the cultures, lands, and wares of the peoples of the Bible! Discover the household goods, tools, and weaponry of civilizations dating back nearly 6,000 years through the time of the Byzantine Empire in the 5th century A.D.
Authentic ancient near eastern artifacts contemporaneous to the early chapters of Genesis, including the Abrahamic Patriarchs; to the era of Moses & Joshua; the royal dynasty of King David; the age of the Israelite and Judahite prophets & kings; the Intertestamental Period; the times of Jesus & His apostles; and the early Christian church are on display!
Guided tours by Dr. James Barber and his museum docent staff are available by appointment for individuals and groups. Admission is free. Donations for the expansion and maintenance of the museum are gratefully accepted.
Plan today to bring your family, Sunday school class, Bible study group, homeschool co-op, public-school class, or club. We will happily host your historical society, archaeology, or anthropology group.
The South Texas Museum of Archaeology & Biblical History exists to Illuminate the Bible!
