Lonely Planet review

This place first gained notoriety thanks to a dedicated minister, Leendert Schouten (1828-1905), who built a scale model of the Jewish Tabernacle described in Exodus. Now on the museum's 3rd floor, the model is said to have attracted thousands of visitors even before it was completed in 1865. Another large exhibit examines the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem from Christian, Jewish and Muslim perspectives.

A collection of Dutch Bibles includes a Delft Bible printed in 1477. On the ground floor you can sniff scents mentioned in the Good Book and stroll a garden of biblical trees.
