Museum of the Word
Tucked away in the sleepy village of Vembayam in Kerala's capital city of Thiruvananthapuram, the Museum of the Word is a hidden gem that promises to be a major attraction for residents and visitors alike. This unique museum, with its innovative storytelling of the Bible, appeals not only to those with a religious interest but also to history buffs, educationalists, and museum enthusiasts. The museum celebrates the evolution and progress of humankind since the beginning, making it a universal place of learning and reflection.
Upon entering the museum, visitors are greeted by the stunning Tree of Knowledge in the lobby area. The museum features meticulously crafted models of the Garden of Eden, the Tower of Babel, and the Ten Commandments inscribed on stone, offering a tangible experience of biblical stories. These exhibits are likely to captivate theological enthusiasts by bringing to life scenes they have long imagined.
The Museum of the Word is a cluster of themed museums, divided into five main sections, each complemented by an extensive collection of artifacts and memorabilia. The International Bible Museum is the highlight, boasting around 300 Bibles in various languages. Among the treasures are handwritten Bibles on different materials, including vellum, a replica of a metallic Bible used by royal families, and a pocket Bible. Informational charts, Bible timelines, and commentaries from renowned theologians provide insightful answers to visitors' questions. Don't miss the Torah scrolls, a model of the Gutenberg Press, and Menorahs, the seven-branched ancient Hebrew lampstands, on display.
The International Philatelic Museum features some of the rarest stamps from over 200 countries, while the Numismatic Museum showcases an exquisite collection of coins, currencies, and tokens from different eras. The International Crosses Museum displays beautiful crosses, including the St. Thomas Cross, Persian Cross, nail cross, and ornamental crosses. The International Picture Gallery houses the largest painting of the ‘Last Supper’ in Asia and other rare images of Jesus Christ. Other noteworthy exhibits include installations of the Tomb of Jesus Christ, the Tabernacle, Golgatha, and models depicting the resurrection, bringing scenes from the Old and New Testaments to life.
Visitors can also explore various art galleries and fossils from the Holy Land, attracting people of all ages. To fully appreciate the museum's vast offerings, plan to spend at least five hours exploring its diverse collections.
