Museum of the Bible To Add A Billy Graham Exhibit

Museum of the Bible will host a special temporary exhibit titled Pilgrim Preacher: Billy Graham, the Bible, and the Challenges of the Modern World. The exhibit, made possible with the cooperation of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, opens to the public on Sunday, August 5, 2018 on the museum’s fifth floor and runs through January 27, 2019.

The exhibit will be divided into two sections: The first will examine the development of Graham into a global revivalist, starting with his roots in the American revival tradition and the postwar context of his early ministry, and the second will explore the impact of his work in the realms of religion, society and politics.
