The Birth of Christianity:
A Jewish Story


Audio Guide

In The Birth of Christianity: A Jewish Story, embark on an adventure that spans the three centuries leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ, and the first decades after that - as the new religion of Christianity began to take shape. Through a diverse array of artifacts, experience Jewish life during the reigns of Alexander the Great and the infamous King Herod. Return to the days of the Jewish War against the Romans and the stirring story of Masada, and learn the significance of Jewish burial customs. Finally, observe the dawn of the Christian Era. 

An optional audio guide is available to expand on your experience in The Birth of Christianity: A Jewish Story. Explore the exhibition in greater depth as you consider the artifacts on display, from sections on Flavius Joseph, Simon of Cyrene and Alexander the Great to others offering fresh curatorial insight into the significance of the ossuaries, frescoes, Hasmonean coins, and architectural remains on display, alongside many other significant artifacts from the era.
