Welcome to Australia's Only Bible Museum

Step into the fascinating world of the Bible through one of Australia's most unique collections. The Bible Museum is home to more than 3,000 Bibles, together with authentic archaeological artefacts, models, lamps, musical instruments and educational displays that bring the Bible and its history to life.

Every visit includes a free guided tour, where you'll discover the remarkable story of how the Bible has been preserved, translated and shared throughout the world—including the fascinating history of the Bible in English.

Our collection includes original Bibles printed over 400 years ago, alongside the latest modern editions. While English Bibles form the heart of the collection, visitors can also explore Scriptures from every continent and many island nations, including Australian Aboriginal languages, Hebrew, Greek, Inuit (Eskimo), and hundreds of other languages from around the world.

The Bibles themselves are as diverse as the people who have treasured them. From magnificent Victorian family Bibles to tiny miniature editions that require a magnifying glass to read, the collection showcases beautiful bindings in vellum, velvet, olive wood, mother-of-pearl, tin and fine leather. Many feature brass clasps, gilt-edged pages and exquisite illustrations.

Beyond the books, you'll encounter impressive models—including a large-scale Ark of the Covenant—together with genuine archaeological artefacts over 2,500 years old, ancient oils, lamps and musical instruments that help illuminate the cultures and history behind the Bible.

Whether you have an interest in history, rare books, archaeology, languages, culture or faith, a visit to the Bible Museum offers an engaging and memorable experience for visitors of all ages.
