The Bible Museum at Biedenharn Museum and Gardens presents Scripture Through Many Eyes
This unique exhibit showcases the works of over 50 local artists who were randomly assigned scripture to interpret using the medium of their choice. Subjects include stories from the Old and New Testament, which may be as familiar as Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, and Nativity. Additionally, there are lesser-known stories that may surprise the viewer. “Scripture Through Many Eyes” is a celebration of scripture and the range of human creativity. Expect to see artwork in many forms expressing creativity, humor, reverence, and an exploration of each artist's values.
