Bible Museum Münster


The Bible Museum is part of the Institute for New Testament Textual Research at the University of Münster/Germany and was founded in 1979 by Kurt Aland.

It tells the story of the Bible - of their handwritten beginnings until today. The main focus lays on the tradition of Greek New Testament as well as the German Bible.

The museum shows:

The basis of its holdings is a private collection. Some parts of the older holdings of the Institute of New Testament Textual Research were added to this. In the course of the years the collection was expanded further with significant exhibits; furthermore, it is continuously augmented by changing items on loan from a private manuscript collector from Norway. In April 2010, the Bible Museum in Germany received the largest private collection of Bibles from collector Walter Remy. This classical language Bible collection includes 379 Latin, Greek and 16 200 multilingual Bibles from the 16th to the 18th century.

Since the Bible Museum is part of the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF) which holds some original manuscripts of the New Testament, those manuscripts can be seen in the Bible Museum in Münster.
