Dunham Bible Museum — Attraction in Houston

Took advantage of a free afternoon in Houston, and visited the Dunham Bible Museum, located on the campus of Houston Baptist University. I went in with no expectations, and came out a wiser and more spiritual person. The pictures below follow the path of the museum exhibits, which focuses on the creation of the first Holy Bible from manuscripts and scrolls. It highlighted the importance of the invention of the Gutenberg press, which was simply a modified grape press that was used to make wine. For the first time, Holy Bibles were mass produced and available to all.

The second half of the museum provides a timeline of a history of the United States, with its intrinsic ties to God and Government.

I hope you enjoy viewing the pictures, and encourage each of you to visit when...

We visited the museum the next day and thankfully he was there working again and we were able to get a selfie! I’m so sorry I forgot your name, but you made my daughters and my special trip to Houston amazing! (Also the gal who was working the door wa very helpful. She had an Australian accent and was very kind....

Absolutely loves this museum. Went there on a school field trip with some second graders. Our guide was very informative and let us take our time to ask questions. The museum itself has an easy to follow layout that follows a chronological order. I was fascinated by all the new information I learned, there is so much history to the Bible and Bible printing. The kids loved the mini bibles and I enjoyed seeing several copies of authentic bibles.

You do need to call in advance and let them know you are going if you need a guide, as this museum is inside...
