Discovering the treasure of the Bible ...
…enter the world of the Bible, up close, on 700 m² of play, excitement and adventure for young and old.

You will walk through a world of experience that will surprise all your senses. You make acquaintance with
- the Hebrew script
- the world of the prophets
- the journey of the prophet Jonah in an adventurous ship especially designed for children, big fish and the scary “skyline” of Nineveh
- the world of Judaism at the time of Jesus and Paul
- the emergence of Christianity in the Roman Empire of antiquity
- the penetrating criticism of the prophetesses and prophets
- the stunning humanity of the itinerant preacher Jesus of Nazareth.
