Our church just hosted a summer day camp for ages 11 to 15, and "an afternoon at the museum" was part of the curriculum. It would be my first time there. And I say it was completely worthwhile, even for the skeptic students -- as in those who expected it to be dry and boring.

Read moreThis Bible museum is mainly written in Chinese, but it also has English translations, so even my kids who don’t read Chinese were able to understand the historical background of the Bible. Although the location is small, the exhibition is very well done. Even though the items are props and not originals, they are made with such detail that I was really impressed. After visiting this exhibition, I felt very touched because it truly shows that God is real...
