LIFE CHANGING. FOR ONE, OR ONE MILLION

The INSPIRED Exhibit is presented in the United States and countries around the globe. It has been hosted in major international cities as well as in remote locations. Invitations have been extended to INSPIRED by a wide spectrum of groups, including churches, Houses of Parliament, National Libraries, and cultural forums due to the profound role of the Bible in shaping the cultural heritage of host nations and organizations. Each event is preceded by months of planning and collaboration with leading institutions in the local area including museums, libraries, government entities, churches, denominations, Bible societies, universities, seminaries, and those from a wide range of other religious traditions.

RARE TREASURES, BROUGHT TO LIFE

Every exhibit is unique, built around a theme selected in collaboration with local church and ministry leaders and/or government sponsors. Through compelling displays, rare biblical treasures are brought to life, demonstrating the reliability of the Bible and inspiring deeper engagement with it.

Included are engaging programs and interactive activities for all ages. Special tours and events are designed for both private and public schools, university students and faculty, campus groups, seminaries, business associations, groups from all biblical traditions, and for those without previous exposure to the Bible. In addition to celebrating the rich history of the Bible, the exhibit also encompasses the history of books, bookmaking, printing, and the book arts. Working with host organizations and co-sponsors, each exhibit is carefully planned for a specific length of time.

CULTURALLY RELEVANT, GLOBALLY IMPACTFUL

The Inspired Exhibit experience includes key insights highlighted by trained docents in each themed area. The exhibition is accompanied by lectures, academic seminars, school field trips, and compelling activities for each age group. Visitors have the opportunity to operate a full-scale working replica of the 1455 Gutenberg printing press, printing a page of the Bible. Personalized tours are available for large groups. Printed exhibit catalogs and other publications are designed to round out the exhibition experience.

The exhibit has been displayed in national libraries, cultural forums and galleries, large churches, and even government assemblies. While important core items are necessary to tell the story effectively at each venue, every exhibit is unique and is built around a theme selected by the INSPIRED team in collaboration with the host organization. These have included the celebration of Lent, The Reformation, and key anniversaries related to the translation and printing of the Bible, including in the local language at international venues. Accompanying each exhibit are lectures and seminars on key aspects of the Bible, presented by local and international ministry leaders and scholars. Private tours are offered each day, by appointment, for groups of all kinds. Engaging activities are also provided for visitors of all ages, including a full-scale replica of the 1455 Gutenberg printing press which brought the first book to print – the Bible. Visitors are able to use the press to print a page of Scripture. In addition to a detailed, full-color exhibit guide (in the local language at international venues), additional publications accompany each exhibit.
