Museum of Biblical Art, Art museum in Dallas, United States

The Museum of Biblical Art in Dallas houses approximately 2500 artworks that explore biblical themes through paintings, sculptures, and religious objects across different periods. These pieces are arranged in eleven gallery spaces that trace how artists have engaged with biblical narratives.

The museum was established in 1967 by Mattie Caruth Byrd as a center for displaying artwork connected to biblical traditions. A major fire in the early 2000s destroyed much of the original collection, leading to a complete reconstruction completed in 2010.

The National Center for Jewish Art opened in October 2014 in 10,000 square feet of the museum, showing the expanded Judaica collection; its first exhibition featured Barbara Hines. The Texas Jewish Arts Association praised the center, while some local Jewish community members questioned the support a museum with Christian roots drew from Jewish patrons and artists.

The museum occupies a modern building with eleven galleries and 30,000 square feet of exhibition and event space, so allow time to cover both the main collection and the 10,000-square-foot National Center for Jewish Art. The building opened in 2010 after the 2005 fire, and the galleries are spread across a single large floor.

The National Center for Jewish Art opened in October 2014 in 10,000 square feet of the building, with an inaugural show of work by Barbara Hines. Its arrival drew praise from the Texas Jewish Arts Association, while some local Jewish community members questioned the fit of a museum with Christian roots hosting Judaica.
