The Bible has had a huge impact on the history of art and visual culture. MOBIA’s exhibitions offer diverse viewpoints and examples of ways that artists have been influenced by this one book throughout time and place. Programs and materials developed by the education department are designed to illuminate the symbolism, narrative, history and context explored in the exhibitions and the Rare Bible Collection @ MOBIA.
