OKLAHOMA - The words "high-tech" and "ancient artifacts" don't usually go together but at the new "Passages" Bible exhibit, which debuted Monday at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, high-tech robots are combined with ancient Bible manuscripts to help bring the story of translation and preservation of the Bible to life. By the time visitors are done with exploring "Passages," they will have experienced over 14,000 square feet of interactive Bible history spanning over 2,000 years. The exhibit tells the story of the Bible by immersing the visitor in a historical environment, whether it's a synagogue or replica of the printing press. Animatrons, detailed placards, touch screens, flip books, and hands-on activities help bring a new sense of appreciation to the cost of human life and sacrifice that went into making the Bible available today. "Passages" will run until Oct. 16, 2011, at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. After that, the Bible exhibit will head to Vatican City and is tentatively scheduled to hit New York City and London during winter. [link]
