The Biblical Resource Center and Museum is a unique institution located in Collierville's Historic Town Square. It is a non-profit and non-denominational organization designed to help visitors learn more about the Bible, where it came from, and how it interconnects with history and scientific fact. Below you will find information on many of the exhibits and resources the museum has to offer.

Permanent Exhibits:

The Biblical Resource Center and Museum houses a small collection of genuine artifacts to give visitors a glimpse into ancient life. In addition, the museum has on display a collection of exact replicas of archeological artifacts such as the Rosetta Stone, the Pilate Stone, and the Gaza Calendar. The museum also offers an interactive exhibit, "How We Got the Bible." This hands-on exhibit allows visitors to learn the history of the Bible and to make "books" of their own to take home.

Changing Exhibits:

In addition to its permanent exhibits, the Biblical Resource Center and Museum also hosts exhibits on loan from other places. Each changing exhibit is designed to further educate visitors about the Bible and its history.

Other Resources:

It probably wouldn't be called a Biblical Resource Center without the resource center! These resources include a reference library that contains Bible commentaries, concordances, dictionaries and encyclopedias, and more. Another popular resource is the Bible Lab where students can learn about the Bible in a classroom environment.
