Why Seoul Bible Museum exists.

The museum exists to raise awareness of the Bible’s importance and make room for people of every background to explore its story.

More than historical influence

The Bible’s influence in Korea can be traced through translation, Hangul, education, medicine, ethical thought, law, human rights, public life, service and mission. The museum will examine this history carefully through objects, stories and sourced educational resources.

These effects matter, but they are not the Bible’s deepest purpose. The Bible bears witness to God making himself known. Its story reaches its climax in Jesus Christ—the Word made flesh—and invites people to know the God it reveals.

Open exploration. Clear foundation.

People of every background are welcome to explore and discuss the Bible. The museum does not require a visitor to begin with a particular belief, but it does not hide its faith-founded purpose: to help people understand why the Bible matters and encounter the story it tells.

Available now. Looking ahead.

Seoul Bible Museum currently exists as a website-based virtual museum owned and administered by CCF. A world-class physical museum in Seoul remains a long-term vision. CCF is committed to working responsibly toward that vision, while the future museum’s legal, governance and property structure remains undetermined.
