‘I went to the Museum of the Book and this is how it helped me become more confident in my faith’

‘Biblical illiteracy is something I think that the current generation is struggling with and I therefore appreciate museums like this that host evidence of the reliability of scriptures,’ says Maxine Harrison.

The Museum of The Book is a Bible museum based in East London dedicated to the history of the Bible. The visit to the museum is complemented by a guided tour led by a family who runs the museum and also the church held in the same building.

Eva-Lotta Hansson runs the museum alongside her husband and daughter who also helps with the tour. Explaining how long the Museum of the Book has been around, Eva said: “The genesis of the Museum of The Book dates back to 1977 with the acquisition of a second edition of the Roman Catholic New Testament in English published in 1600. The collection has been growing ever since. The mission of the museum is about proclaiming the accuracy, authenticity and authority of the Word of God believing it to be the answer to all the basic issues of life.”
