A Nomadic Museum's Reach: Exhibitions and Programs Across the Netherlands
Since 2018, the Bijbels Museum has operated without a permanent exhibition space. Its mission is to explore and share stories related to biblical themes and cultural heritage with the widest possible public, appealing to both believers and non-believers. The museum achieves this by sustainably producing and presenting its work—often featuring new and commissioned art—in collaboration with partner museums, monumental churches, and public buildings throughout the country.
The 2022 report highlights a busy schedule, with the museum's exhibitions hosted in various locations including Amsterdam, Ter Apel, Uden, and Zierikzee. A notable initiative was the "EXODUS" Open Call, a collaborative project with Buitenplaats Doornburgh in Maarssen. This attracted over 700 submissions from artists, with selected works showcased in an online exhibition and a portion physically displayed at Buitenplaats Doornburgh starting in March 2023.
In addition to its traveling exhibitions, the year saw numerous events such as lectures, guided tours, and workshops. These activities garnered significant public and media interest, contributing to a successful and productive 2022, despite a brief closure early in the year due to pandemic measures.
