Collector Opens a Museum

The Green collection is one of the World's Largest Private Collections of Rare Biblical Texts and Artifacts, and it shows the public good that private collecting of antiquities can do. The collector has generously agreed to make his objects available to the public in a specially-built museum in the nation's capital. The Museum has a mission: "To bring to life the living Word of God, to tell its compelling story of preservation, and to inspire confidence in the absolute authority and reliability of the Bible." The museum is under construction in the former Design Center, an historically protected Renaissance Revival building close to the National Mall and the United States Capitol. The building is located two blocks from the National Mall at 300 D. Street SW, near the Federal Center SW Metro station.
