Live Online Tours
The Biblical Museum of Natural History is offering tours in the NEW museum building exclusively for a very special type of person: those who can’t come!
Our live online programs are perfect for people who are unable to physically visit. All you need is an internet connection! We will give you interactive tours of museum exhibits, during which you will be able to ask questions. It’s the next best thing to actually visiting!
Due to the expanded size of the new museum, and the necessity to keep online tours relatively brief at 50 minutes, it is impossible to cover the entire museum in a single session! We offer a “Basic Tour” which zooms around the entire museum, giving a taste of each of the exhibit halls, and is suitable for very young audiences with limited attention spans; and eight in-depth tours, each of which takes place in a different hall, and are described below.
The price per session is $480 for communities/ adult institutions and $320 for children’s schools – write to office@BiblicalNaturalHistory.org for booking.
“Thank you so much for this morning’s exceptional and enjoyable presentation. Beyond your expertise in the field combined with your sense of humor and ability to present I really appreciated how you worked the chat so well to allow for participation even remotely. This was an opportunity to really capitalize on our unfortunate situation and bring their Torah study to life!” – Rabbi Yaacov Feit, Director of Jewish Studies, Kushner Hebrew Academy
