Museum of Biblical Art National Center for Jewish Art Museum of Holocaust Art - 3 Museums in 1 Location! — Attraction in Dallas

Just a quick heads up if you’re planning a visit. When I stopped by with my family, the front desk asked for my full name, email, phone number, and home address “for security purposes,” explaining it was because the museum is religious in nature and the information might be shared with local law enforcement (I imagine for instances where incidents occur). I am in law enforcement myself, so I understand the need to keep people and property safe. At the same time, I also know the risks that come with handing over all of your personal information when it is not truly necessary, especially in a world where data can be stored, shared, or even compromised without your knowledge. I take privacy seriously no matter the place or context, because protecting my family and limiting where sensitive details end up is important to me. Do I think my personal information would be misused or mishandled at this museum? Not necessarily. But misuse of personal information happens all the time, even from places and organizations where you would expect it to be secure, so I prefer to be cautious nonetheless.

One concern I had with this process was that all visitors were asked to sign in and provide their personal information in the same notebook, which was left open on the counter. This meant anyone signing in could see the names, phone numbers, emails, and home addresses of every other visitor who had already signed. Not only does this create its own privacy issues, it also undermines the stated purpose of collecting the information for security.

In my experience, this level of personal information request is not common for museums, but again, I could be wrong as I haven’t been to every museum out there. I did not notice anything on their website mentioning this requirement, although it is possible I may have missed it. I offered my name and phone number, but after a little back and forth, the staff member, clearly frustrated, moved on to showing me pricing, waiving the requirement (so was it truly required?). At this point, I decided it probably was not the right day for our visit. From what I could see, the museum does have some really unique and meaningful exhibits, and I would be happy to give it another try if their policy changes in the future. For now, it is just something to be aware of so you can decide ahead of time if you are comfortable with the admission requirements and sharing this level of personal...

It had some wonderful pieces. There was a 40ft wide painting of image the resurrection of Jesus. The holocaust museum was impactful and I found pieces that are some of my favorite pieces I have seen across America. We had to hand write our personal information in a book for all who enter to see but it was for safely. Nothing to match up if was true or not. I do not recommend getting the Groupon that is advertised here on Google Maps. It was the reason that we found them and decided to go. But redeeming it was a nightmare and even though I had an email showing I paid, they wanted me to pay again because the voucher was processing. It took over an hour to have the voucher show the redemption code. Luckily the guy who wanted me to pay again said I could go in and he would pay for me and my daughter again. How insulting! I showed I paid and he treated us like we were deadbeats and made a scene about it in front of a like of 7 people behind us (who had to wait and watch this guy disrespect us).

We were allowed to go in after we had been there over 15 minutes but we would have had to wait over an hour to see the museum if we had to wait on Groupon. We did buy from the gift shop and turned in our redemption code with the sweetest lady who was so kind and caring from the moment she greeted us from the beginning.

I wish the guy had been that kind. We saw him talking to the person before us and he was giving them many bits of information on pieces and artists. He seemed to be very knowledgeable and wish we would have gotten that attitude but I got a different tone from him from the moment he heard the word Groupon. Don’t make deals with Groupon if you are going to snub your nose at those who take advantage of pre purchasing tickets while in route.

So pay full price. That is what they want. They can use it to touch up the paint between installations. And we had to walk around a ladder in a large three wall installation of self portraits. The ladder isn’t even in an area that needed anything hung up.

But there was a room of interactive art, you can leave a note on how the piece made you feel. I don’t know how long it has been or if they always do it. But I put up a black leather piece for one I enjoyed.

So I would recommend this as a place for unique pieces-just pay cash when you show up. At least parking was free. But try to get there early when the doors open...

I cannot recommend this museum. When I arrived, security confiscated my pepper spray. I fully understand it’s not allowed inside, and I wasn’t asking to carry it in — only that they hold it and return it when I left. Instead, they told me it would not be returned. That is theft under the cover of “policy,” and in God’s eyes, stealing is still stealing. Pepper spray is not a deadly weapon, just a basic self-defense tool, and staff admitted this happens to many guests.

Even worse, the museum promotes Charles Spurgeon, a Calvinist preacher who backloaded works into the gospel by teaching that good works must “prove” salvation. This is completely opposite of the true gospel of grace: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9, KJV).

What should have been a ministry to glorify Christ instead feels like a profit-driven business, cloaked in religion, promoting false teaching, and robbing visitors of their property. This is not a place I can support or recommend.

P.S if may keepndelting this review next time I will take it to corrpate level until someone at this facility gets fire or Hire a...
