Bethlehem Village Model
We have decided to leave our miniature Bethlehem Village on display in the Coffee Shop area for awhile. The Village is composed of buildings and characters from the Fontanini Collection and is 6 feet by 8 feet in size. It offers a detailed look at what village life was like during the 1st century.

Some New Additions
Our new exterior directional sign has been completed and is now installed. This sign will help people find the entrance to our Museum.
Recent acquisitions include two ceramic and one bronze pomegranates from Iron Age II (1000-587 BC). One of the terra cotta pomegranates has a perforation for hanging and the other was used as a large rattle. The bronze pomegranate is actually a beautiful Toggle Pin. Pomegranates are listed as one of the seven species of which the land of Israel was blessed in Deuteronomy 8:8. It is one of the most popular designs in the art of ancient Israel. The adornment of the High Priest's robe included pomegranates (Exodus 39:26). W are happy to share these with you as you visit the Museum.
