Today we visited the Biblical Arts Museum. The museum displays Biblically themed artwork of paintings, sculptures, works on paper and other forms of visual fine art. They house a permanent collection of key and significant works of art from Old Masters to modern pieces currently on loan.
We visited the museum in 2004 with Uncle David, when they had a Gutenberg Press and Bibles spanning an 800 year period. In 2005, a devastating fire destroyed the museum and its contents including 2,500 works of art and all of the popular Judeo-Christian displays and galleries.
The piece behind the children is ‘The Resurrection’ by artist, Ron DiCianni, was commissioned by the Museum of Biblical Arts and completed in 2010. The dramatic 12’ x 40’ oil painting on canvas portrays Jesus rising from the tomb flanked by Moses, Abraham, Isaiah, Esther and other Biblical figures.
The Museum of Biblical Art has recently acquired a life-size replica of Michelangelo’s Pietá cast in bronze and authorized by the Vatican. It came directly from the Michelangelo Museum--Fondazione Casa Buonarroti in Florence, Italy.
The museum is so inspiring and well worth the visit if you are in the Dallas area!!

“Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver,
bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn,
and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem
with my skilled workers, whom my father David provided."
