To celebrate the 400th birthday of the King James Bible, the Museum of Biblical Art presents a new exhibition of rare items, including a hand-written letter from King James himself. And there’s scores of other artifacts dating back to the 1600s.
The King James Bible was first printed in 1611, and many scholars believe it has since influenced everything – art, poetry, culture, language, music and customs. The book actually popularized several English words we all use today.
The exhibit, which comes from the Charles Ryrie Bible Collection, runs July 15-Aug. 31. Admission is $12 with discounts for seniors, students and groups.
