With the $12-million-dollar center for biblical antiquities, the Holy Land Experience (HLE) continues to treat guests to a truly unexpected Orlando experience. The Scriptorium — HLE’s pièce de résistance — is a center of truly remarkable biblical antiquities.

A rich, edifying, and inspiring museum housing some of the most rare biblical artifacts discovered to date, the Scriptorium is a walk-through experience and automated tour that introduces guests to the world’s largest private collection of biblical artifacts. The Scriptorium’s Van Kampen Collection, privately owned by Robert and Judith Van Kampen, was founded in 1986, and is an expression of the couple’s passionate commitment to God and his word.

HLE’s Scriptorium takes visitors on an incredible fifty-five minute, highly-themed historical journey, unveiling the fascinating origins of the holy bible along the way. See authentic, ancient artifacts from around the globe, including Babylonian pieces dating back 4000 years, cuneiforms, scrolls, codices, manuscripts, bibles, and other religious antiquities.

The Scriptorium journey tells the story of people who were imprisoned, some brutally murdered, for owning or sharing a bible. Embracing the stories of these brave men and women, the Scriptorium celebrates their relentless struggle to make the bible available to everyone.

See the blood stained pages of a martyr’s bible and portions of Gutenberg’s 42-line Bible. Revel in rare editions of William Tyndale’s English Bible as well as a copy of the Wyclif Gospel. And, at the tour’s end, a spectacular display of the Ten Commandments and a stunning collection of paintings of biblical men and women who loved the word of God.

The Scriptorium provides guests with a dramatic understanding of bible history, illustrates the parallels between bible and civilization’s history, and shows the lasting effect of it all upon our world. And don’t miss the featured exhibits on display in the rotating exhibit located off the Scriptorium bookstore. It is a learning environment that captivates through sight, sound, and touch.

Currently in the rotating exhibit, A Day in the Life of a Monk journeys to a monastery giving guests a taste of medieval monks’ daily lives. Before you sound the monastery bell, enjoy an up-close and personal video featuring the musings of a young monk as he contemplates monastic life, or create a souvenir impression of a page printed in 1473.
