The Museum of Biblical Art has risen from the ashes in a brand new expanded, state-of-the-art facility; a fine art museum with a mission to display art with a Biblical theme. Nothing on its scale exists in the United States, making it a treasure trove for Dallas…..and the world. Eleven galleries exhibit European and American art, Jewish and Israeli art, rare Bibles, and Biblical Archaeology; works include bronze sculpture, drawings, fine prints, and oil paintings. Opening exhibits include: Marc Chagall, with over 50 originals…The Michelangelo Exhibit includes an exact bronze of the Pieta. European Art includes a fresco from 1300s, a Veronese drawing, and an altarpiece from the School of Boticelli. Jewish Ceremonial Art includes objects for Shabbat and Holidays: Torah Shields, Seder Plates, and Menorahs. See Jewish artists like Jacques Lipchitz, Leonard Baskin, William Gropper, Jack Levine, Max Weber, and Ben Shahn….American paintings from Albert Pinkham Ryder, John Singer Sargent, and Andy Warhol. We feature historic artists like Georges Rouault, Oscar Kokoschka, Maurice Denis, Jacques Villon, Kathe Kollwitz, and Emil Nolde.

The museum hosts various styles of biblical art from Contemporary to Renaissance. A list of our current galleries and exhibits can be found on our website.

Several years have gone into the restoration of works that were damaged in the 2005 fire. Many more objects will continue to be treated or exhibited within the new lab/classroom of the Museum of Biblical Art by a variety of conservators.

The museum began its "Adopt an Artifact" program in 2010. Artifacts that need conservation will be available for review and those who sponsor their recovery will be credited in the exhibition of the treated object after its completion. Before and after photos will be posted on the museum website.

In this workshop, Maria Sheets will share years of experience in her understanding of how to best preserve and store a wide variety of family heirlooms. The workshop will include both lectures and hands-on training covering basic environmental monitoring for home and small business collections, recovering materials from a disaster, storage and maintenance of objects ranging from antique furniture and photographs/documents, to modern sculpture and plastics.
