Exhibitions:
New Exhibition – By the Rivers of Babylon
The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem is proud to present By the Rivers of Babylon, the world premier exhibition of the earliest documents that illustrate the lives of the first exiles of from the pivotal chapter in Jewish history, the Babylonian Exile.
Experience the destruction of Jerusalem, the grueling journey to Babylonia, the daily lives of the Judean exiles in captivity and finally the return to Zion.
On display for the first time are original artifacts dating to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Babylonian Exile, including clay tablets from the Al-Yahudu archive (named after the city that the Judean exiles settled, in southern Iraq) which display fascinating evidence of the lives of the exiles. This archive is considered one of the most important archaeological finds relating to the history of the Jewish people. Complementing these artifacts are illustrations from the Medieval and Modern eras of the dramatic events which have become a symbol of the resilience of the Jewish people. Advanced multi-media enhance this exhibition which focuses on one of the most important milestones in the history of the Jewish people.
DIONYSUS: Wine & Divine
A brief encounter with the god of wine, intoxication and ecstasy, and his frenzied entourage in this display of enchanting artifacts, many of which are being exhibited for the first time.
Permanent Exhibition
The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem houses one of the world’s most important collections of ancient Near Eastern artifacts, illustrating the world of the Hittites, the Phoenicians, the civilizations of Greece and Rome and the importance of Canaan, Judea and Israel at the cross-roads of the ancient world.
Glories of Ancient Greece – Closing: June 2015
The oldest jewelry in the museum is found in this exhibition, part of a large collection of silver and gold items, which also includes a magnificent gold wreath from the Hellenistic period, necklaces, rare gold and crystal earrings and beautiful bracelets. Gold and silver were relatively rare in ancient Greece until Alexander the Great’s successful campaign against the Persians, when his conquest resulted in tremendous amount of gold and silver booty flowing into Greece, some of which ended up in the museum’s collection. The exhibit also features an extensive collection of Greek pottery from over 3,500 years ago, with vases portraying scenes from Greek mythology that represented the height of artistic ingenuity at the time.
Roman Fresco Room
From Pompeii to Jerusalem: The frescoes in this collection are believed to be from the villas of Boscotrecase, a suburb of Pompeii that was frozen in time with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. Sealed beneath the lava, they were preserved for centuries and still retain their vibrant colors and fine detailed painting. The beautiful frescoes, made in the Roman technique of wet plaster painting, portray magical panoramic views of nature, mythology, erotica and more. One of the prominent pieces from the collection is the “Erotic Scene of a Nude Nymph.” *On view by request only.

Autor: Dr. Filip Vukosavović,
Kustos, Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem
Kao dodatak sjajnom stalnom postavu, Bible Lands Museum u Jeruzalemu 1. veljače 2015. otvara izložbu velikog značaja i upečatljivog imena „By the Rivers of Babylon“. „Na obali rijeka babilonskih…“ dio je citata poznatog nam iz biblijskog Psalma 137 i kao takav odabran je za naslov same izložbe.
Već sam u >prvom predstavljanju Bible Lands Museum pisala kako većina ljudi, kada se u nazivu nečega spominje riječ Biblija, tome nečemu automatski pridaje religiozni karakter i misiju. Iz tog razloga nemali broj posjetioca muzeja misli kako će u ovom muzeju sva nastojanja biti usmjerena potkrepljivanju vjerskih dogmi, no već nakon kratke šetnje muzejom postaje jasno kako je Bible Lands Museum osnovan upravo iz suprotnih razloga – kako bi se ustvrdilo što je iz biblijskih priča povijesno provjerljivo, gdje su i kako su živjeli ljudi spomenuti u Bibliji, što je istina, a što je dio „mita“. Bibliju se ovdje ne tretira kao svetu knjigu, već kao vrlo važan povijesni dokument. Takav pristup primijenjen je i u stvaranju izložbe „By the Rivers of Babylon“.
Izložba je inspirirana tekstovima iz Al-Yahudu arhiva koji su se početkom sedamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća pojavili na tržištu starina. Arhiv je sadržavao preko 200 glinenih pločica na kojima su tekstovi pisani klinastim pismom, a trenutno se nalazi u privatnom vlasništvu dviju kolekcionara. Bible Lands Museum za potrebe ove izložbe u posjedu je preko 130 pločica iz najvažnije kolekcije, inače u privatnom vlasništvu Cindy i Davida Sofer.
Postavlja se pitanje: „Zašto bi izložba bazirana na stotinjak malenih glinenih pločica bila toliko senzacionalna?“ Takvi nalazi laiku na prvu ruku ne izgledaju kao nešto spektakularno. Radi se, naime, o malim glinenim pločicama na kojima vidimo klinasto pismo, na kojima nema zanimljivih ilustracija i jarkih boja. Tako nešto može biti interesantno i razumljivo jedino specijalistima za drevne jezike? E pa nije tako! Često važnost na oko „neuglednih“ arheoloških nalaza vrlo dobro ilustrira ona stara narodna: „Nije zlato sve što sija.“ Ključ dobre popularizacije arheologije upravo je javnosti pokazati i razviti svijest da oni najvažniji i najvrjedniji arheološki nalazi često puta nisu od zlata i dragog kamenja!

BLM – Izložba ‘By the Rivers of Babylon’. Foto: Kristina Dragčević Gwirtzman. [Za povećanje kliknite na sliku.]
Dr. Vukosavović ovom je izložbom otkrio nevjerojatnu priču o dijelu povijesti o kojem do sada nismo znali gotovo ništa, a koja je isplivala na svjetlo dana upravo zahvaljujući informacijama dobivenim iz glinenih pločica Al-Yahudu arhiva. Važnost Al-Yahudu arhiva ogromna je jer upotpunjuje veliku prazninu o životu naroda Judeje u babilonskom zarobljeništvu. Priča je to od iznimne važnosti koja ruši brojne dosadašnje pretpostavke. Dokumentira život Hebreja nedugo nakon izgnanstva u Babilon. Najraniji tekst iz Al-Yahudu arhiva napisan je samo 15 godina nakon destrukcije Jeruzalema 587. god. pr. Krista. Glinene pločice pisane su na akadskom jeziku (izumrlom semitskom jeziku kojim se govorilo u Mezopotamiji) i pružaju prve dokumentarne dokaze o svakodnevnom životu i poslovnim transakcijama obitelji koje su i nakon dozvole, tzv. edikta Kira Velikog, da se vrate u Judeju, sedamdeset godina nakon prisilnog izgnanstva, odlučile ostati u Babilonu. Pločice iz Al-Yahudu arhiva dokumentiraju život Hebreja (Judejaca) i njihovih susjeda sve do 477. god. pr. Krista, kada datira najkasniji tekst ove zbirke. U tekstovima se spominju desetci Hebreja s jasno navedenim imenima, od kojih mnogi nose i slavni judejsko/židovski teoforični element –yahu, ali i imena mjesta u kojima su živjeli, poslove kojima su se bavili, pravima nasljeđa (nasljeđivali su imovinu, pa čak i robove), otkriven je njihov status i položaj u dijaspori po kojem se, između ostalog, daje zaključiti da su vrlo brzo i uspješno nastavili sa životom u novoj zemlji. Neki su bili uspješniji od drugih, neki su bili bogatiji od drugih, neki vještiji, neki manje vješti. Ovi su tekstovi uvelike pomogli u rasvjetljavanju statusa Hebreja u Babilonu. Pobijaju uvriježeno mišljenje da su Hebreji tamo bili građani drugog reda koji su bili prisiljavani na težak rad.
Moguće je bilo rekonstruirati i pojedina obiteljska stabla do čak pet naraštaja jer podaci iz arhiva pokrivaju razdoblje od devedeset godina hebrejskog prisutstva u Babilonu. Izgnanstvo formalno završava 539. god. pr. Krista, kada kralj Kir Veliki izdaje edikt kojim dozvoljava izgnanim narodima u Babilonskom carstvu povratak domovinama. U desetljećima koja su uslijedila, mnogi su se vratili, s njima i biblijski likovi Ezra i Nehemija. Ipak, većina je odlučila ostati. Oni koji su ostali činili su dio jedne od najvažnijih dijaspora u povijesti židovskog naroda. Babilonsko izgnanstvo jedan je od pivotalnih događaja koji je značajno utjecao na formiranje judaizma u povijesti židovskog naroda. Život ide dalje…uvijek ide dalje… poruka je to kojom izložba završava.
Istinitost spomenutih događaja i ilustraciju ovog povijesnog razdoblja, uz arheološke nalaze, dodatno potkrjepljuju također prezentirani kasniji manuskripti, babilonski izvori, židovski izvori te umjetnički prikazi iz srednjovjekovnog razdoblja i moderne ere.
Kako bi priču ispričali na najbolji mogući način i približili je posebice mlađim naraštajima, autor i njegov tim odlučili su ulogu pripovjedača dati osobi koja se spominje na pločicama iz arhiva. Njegovo ime je Haggai Ben Ahiqam i on je glavni lik specijalno izrađenog animiranog filma koji nas na vrlo kreativan način uvodi u tijek povijesnih događaja. On je taj koji priča priču budućim naraštajima. Haggaiev pradjed bio je iz Judeje i bio je jedan od onih koji su prognani u Babilon. Haggai je tako bio četvrta generacija u izgnanstvu. Zahvaljujući podacima iz pločica poznato je tko je Haggaiev otac, tko su bili njegova četvorica braće/sestara, baka, djed i pradjed. Takvi podaci pokazuju život „iza kulisa“, pokazuju kako su ljudi zaista živjeli.
Sama izložba podijeljena je u tri dijela koji prate kronološki tijek događaja. U prvoj dvorani prikazan je život Hebreja u Judeji prije dolaska Babilonaca, u drugoj dvorani prikazana je babilonska invazija i rušenje Jeruzalema, a u trećoj dvorani boravak Hebreja u Babilonu.
Izložbu sam posjetila početkom travnja ove godine, dva mjeseca nakon njezinog službenog otvaranja. Imala sam čast da me kroz nju provede sam autor dr. Filip Vukosavović, kustos u Bible Lands muzeju. Dr. Filip Vukosavović i njegov tim suradnika ovom su izložbom na najbolji mogući način pokazali koliko se dobro i uspješno arheologija može predstaviti svim dobnim uzrastima i posjetiocima svih obrazovnih razina, od najmlađih do najstarijih, od laika do stručnjaka. Mislilo se na potrebe sviju pa je tako i način prezentacije informacija prilagođen raznim intelektualnim kapacitetima i interesnim skupinama. Korištene su vrhunske animacije i multimedijski sadržaji izrađeni specijalno za potrebe ove izložbe od strane profesionalne dizajnerske tvrtke koja je usko surađivala s autorom i slijedila njegove upute. Uz klasične informacijske pločice koje prate svaki nalaz, kao izvori informacija za one koji žele znati više dostupni su iPad-i i računala na informacijskim stanicama preko kojih se u problematiku izložbe ulazi dublje i s više dodatnih detalja o eksponatima. Takav način prezentacije posebno je zanimljiv i od velike koristi stručnim posjetiteljima. Izazov svakog muzeja jest inovativno i zanimljivo predstaviti muzejsku građu suvremenoj publici. Ova je izložba u tome svakako uspjela i postavila visoke standarde muzejske prezentacije.
Autor i njegov stručni tim ovom su izložbom pokazali koliko je važna moć kvalitetne vizualne prezentacije ukoliko se arheologija želi uspješno popularizirati i približiti javnosti, posebice onim najmlađima koji su naša budućnost.

Delve deeper into the Bible by learning about the lives of the people who populated the Ancient Near East at the award-winning Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem. Founded in 1992 by the late Dr. Elie Borowski and his wife Batya, the Bible Lands Museum’s extensive collection of ancient art and archaeology helps visitors gain a more intimate understanding of the Bible through discovering the daily practices of the people who lived during that period.
The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem (BLMJ), located on Museum Row, is in the heart of the modern cultural center of Jerusalem. The collection draws from the vast geographic area reaching from Afghanistan in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, from the Caucasian mountains in the north to Nubia (Sudan) in the south.
The collection dates from the dawn of civilization, focusing on the pre-historic era 6,000 years ago to the Early Christian Era, approximately 1000 CE. Displayed chronologically, the Main Exhibition sheds light on the daily lives and beliefs of the rich civilizations that have since vanished, including how they cooked, worshiped, buried their dead, fought their battles, adorned themselves with jewelry, among many other aspects.
BLMJ has earned international acclaim as a universal center for cultural and educational programming. It leads innovative tours for school children, presents weekly lectures, and offers a variety of courses for adults. The Museum is a vibrant cultural institution offering creative programs for families and a rich array of activities throughout the year.

Glories of Ancient Greece – Closing: June 2015
The oldest jewelry in the museum is found in this exhibition, part of a large collection of silver and gold items, which also includes a magnificent gold wreath from the Hellenistic period, necklaces, rare gold and crystal earrings and beautiful bracelets. Gold and silver were relatively rare in ancient Greece until Alexander the Great’s successful campaign against the Persians, when his conquest resulted in tremendous amount of gold and silver booty flowing into Greece, some of which ended up in the museum’s collection. The exhibit also features an extensive collection of Greek pottery from over 3,500 years ago, with vases portraying scenes from Greek mythology that represented the height of artistic ingenuity at the time.
Roman Fresco Room
From Pompeii to Jerusalem: The frescoes in this collection are believed to be from the villas of Boscotrecase, a suburb of Pompeii that was frozen in time with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. Sealed beneath the lava, they were preserved for centuries and still retain their vibrant colors and fine detailed painting. The beautiful frescoes, made in the Roman technique of wet plaster painting, portray magical panoramic views of nature, mythology, erotica and more. One of the prominent pieces from the collection is the “Erotic Scene of a Nude Nymph.” *On view by request only.

Delve deeper into the Bible by learning about the lives of the people who populated the Ancient Near East at the award-winning Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem. Founded in 1992 by the late Dr. Elie Borowski and his wife Batya, the Bible Lands Museum’s extensive collection of ancient art and archaeology helps visitors gain a more intimate understanding of the Bible through discovering the daily practices of the people who lived during that period.
The Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem (BLMJ), located on Museum Row, is in the heart of the modern cultural center of Jerusalem. The collection draws from the vast geographic area reaching from Afghanistan in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, from the Caucasian mountains in the north to Nubia (Sudan) in the south.
The collection dates from the dawn of civilization, focusing on the pre-historic era 6,000 years ago to the Early Christian Era, approximately 1000 CE. Displayed chronologically, the Main Exhibition sheds light on the daily lives and beliefs of the rich civilizations that have since vanished, including how they cooked, worshiped, buried their dead, fought their battles, adorned themselves with jewelry, among many other aspects.
BLMJ has earned international acclaim as a universal center for cultural and educational programming. It leads innovative tours for school children, presents weekly lectures, and offers a variety of courses for adults. The Museum is a vibrant cultural institution offering creative programs for families and a rich array of activities throughout the year.
