Mesopotamian Hall: See a brick from Babylon with Nebuchadnezzar II's name stamped on it. This hall also boasts a replica of the Obelisk of Shalamannesser III.
Transjordan Hall: Andrews University's commitment to field archaeology is highlighted with displays of objects excavated from three sites: Tall Hesban, Tall al-'Umayri, and Tall Jalul.
Life of Christ Hall: The days of Christ come alive with a three-dimensional model of Jerusalem accompanied by objects from the land where Jesus walked, including Roman nails.
Classroom Hall: Step into a biblical story line as you are surrounded by murals painted by renowned local artist Nathan Greene. Biblical period artifacts add a real-life touch to Greene's masterful visual story-telling.
