The Bible Museum (Arizona)

Most hotels include a Gideon Bible beside each bed. But inside the Hampton Inn & Suites in Goodyear, Arizona, you will find the only 24/7/365 Bible Museum operated by the largest dealer of historic Bibles in the world.

I’m not sure why it’s located inside a hotel – my visit was late at night to see if this really was a Bible Museum. It is.

It’s not the expansive layout that you’ll find at the DC Museum of the Bible, but within one room you’ll find more history than you can imagine. Maybe that’s why they added the hotel in case you need to take a break. And the admission price can’t be beat (free).

They’ve also scanned the most significant Bibles and works and made them freely available at http://www.bibles-online.net/

Be very careful before signing up for their email list. They will send you the most amazing stories about rare and antique Bibles and you will be very tempted to pull out your credit card and build your own historic library.
