Museum of Creation and Earth History

Museum of Creation and Earth History, Creationist museum in Santee, California, US.

The Creation and Earth History Museum is a young earth creationist facility in Santee, California, opened in 1992 by the Institute for Creation Research. Its exhibits include a walk through the Garden of Eden depicting the six days of Genesis, a dark room with images of planets and stars, scale models of Noah's Ark and the Tower of Babel, an Ice Age room, and the Canyon Wall, which presents the Grand Canyon as formed in weeks or months.

The Institute for Creation Research opened the museum in 1992 at its Santee headquarters, replacing an earlier museum in the institute's basement; it cost $50,000 and took two years to complete. After the institute moved to Dallas, Texas, in 2008, it sold the facility to the Life and Light Foundation, a non-profit ministry run by Tom Cantor.

The museum displays interpretations of biblical locations like the Garden of Eden and Noah's Ark through scientific and religious perspectives. Visitors can see how these narratives are presented through exhibits and reconstructed spaces.

The museum occupies the Institute for Creation Research's former headquarters building in Santee, east of San Diego. Exhibits are arranged as a self-guided walk, from the Garden of Eden rooms through the Ice Age room to the Canyon Wall and the Hall of Scholars. Allow time to read the wall texts, since the displays are text-heavy.

In 2013 the San Diego Museum Council denied the museum accreditation, a decision that drew attention to how the facility presents its exhibits. The museum also displays the ICR's RATE project, an effort with other young-earth groups to find evidence for a young earth.
