Critics accuse it of threatening the separation of church and state; in truth, Washingtons new museum makes an invaluable contribution to American (and Jewish) cultural literacy.

I’m anxious to go down and see this, when the weather is better.
If the "Prince of Darkness" doesn't burst into flames at that museum, I don't think snowflakes will melt at the Museum of the Bible

Ignorant, unstable, angry, unaccomplished psychos, usually perverts, often violent type antifas.
Next question...
What’s a “separation of church and state” ?
Excellent review.
I want to see the MOTB as well.
I took my family to the Ark Encounter last year. What a massive building. It was also pretty cool looking at some of the engineering ideas to solve some of the refuse, waste, air and water problems. Quite the visit and all seven seemed to like it.
I work just a few blocks away, but have not yet had a chance to visit. Waiting for spring!
islamists and their democrat cohorts.
Went to see Ark Encounter and Creation Museum last year. The Ark Encounter was interesting, especially in the explanations given for care of animals, etc. The Creation Museum was still under construction, or at least the parking lot. The grounds are beautiful but I found the exhibits to contain a lot of repetition with Ark Encounter. In addition, it is not constructed to handle heavy crowds like the Ark. Definitely would suggest going there on a non busy day.
If you make it to these attractions, I definitely recommend a trip to Bardstown, KY to visit some of the bourbon distilleries. We took in several and acted like bootleggers of old in bringing back our stashes of small batch bourbon.
We’re going on Saturday.
This is a long, but detailed review by an apparently Jewish historian; her notes about archaeology may interest you as well. The first half of the long article is devoted to refuting the many knee-jerk, biased criticisms that were leveled against this museum even before it opened.
But the entire second half is her review of how favorably she compares this museum against her familiarity with the best ancient history/Irael-focused collections in the world, and that the museum, although founded by evangelicals, has so much well researched and presented material to offer Jewish visitors.
They’ve had features about it on the local news, and it looks like quite an experience.
