The Museum of the Bible will open in Norway

The museum will show two hundred editions of Holy Scripture. It is planned that the opening of the new museum will be held in Oslo on the 31-st of May.

Biblical museums are considered very rare. So far there are only three in the world: in Amsterdam (Netherlands), Washington (USA) and Munster (Germany). Now a similar museum will appear in the center of the Norwegian capital.

The Norwegian museum will display the first Scandinavian Bible of 1541, which was published in Sweden, as well as the first Danish biblical edition of 1550. Some of the oldest Bibles are written on leather or parchment and date from the beginning of the 13th century. Visitors will see editions of various forms, sizes, design options with texts in Norwegian, Saami, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, Icelandic, Greenlandic and Faroese.
