Bibelmuseum, Bible museum in Wuppertal, Germany

The Bibelmuseum Wuppertal is a free-church Bible museum on Bendahler Straße, housed in a two-story building with a pale grey facade, green-framed windows and a dark entrance canopy. Its rooms, expanded in 2008 to include Bendahler Straße 58–60, display cuneiform tablets, papyrus fragments, Dead Sea Scroll facsimiles, a full-size wooden Gutenberg printing press and Bibles in over 1,600 languages.

The museum was established in 2001 with a focus on preserving and presenting religious texts from various periods of human history. A significant expansion took place in 2008, which increased the facility's capacity to display its growing collection of materials.

The collection displays medieval illuminated manuscripts and reproductions of historic religious texts spread across several connected buildings that reveal how different cultures expressed their faith through visual art. These rooms showcase the ornamental traditions and design choices that made sacred books into works of visual beauty.

The museum occupies the corner building at Bendahler Straße/Wolkenburg plus the adjoining houses at Bendahler Straße 58–60, so allow time for several connected exhibition rooms. It is run by the Verein Museum für Bibelgeschichte e. V.; check the opening times on bibelmuseum.de before travelling, as the website is the operator's own notice board. Do not confuse it with the Bible Centre Wuppertal at Rudolfstraße 135, a separate exhibition run by the Evangelical Bible Work in the Rhineland.

The museum's collection includes Bibles in more than 1,600 languages, and a wooden printing press built to the original size of Gutenberg's. Separate rooms present earth history, creation and the Flood from a creationist viewpoint, with large fossil collections, terrariums and an aquarium.
