Holyland Exhibition

Great place! the whole exhibition is very interesting and really educational. Would love to come back with a bigger group of kids from church. Thank you for your hospitality and great service.

Besides housing the museum collection,
in 1924, Mr. Futterer founded the Holyland Bible Knowledge Society, and developed the «Eye-​Ographic» bible study, after years of research in the «Bible Lands».
(realizing the Bible and its lands are inseparable).
My dad lived here as a student In ’63,
in one of the bungalow shacks on the
Property, learning Mr. Futterer’s study system.
As student «ambassadors», he and the study groups would also take
excursion trips to Israel and Egypt.
Years Later my dad would often bring my brother and i back to visit in the 70s.
Not realizing it then, but this place would become a primary influence in my interest of the ancient history, cultures, and antiquities of that region, as well as it’s relationship with the Bible.
Growing up, I have shied away from «religions» in general,
But This wonderful place is a great way to introduce to young ones, and install a Curiosity for further learning about the history of the Holyland.
(also an interesting tidbit; Futterer was the real life inspiration for the Indiana Jones movie character.)

This is an amazing place and the tour has so much history in a small place. It. was very well set up and so diversed. Such a Blessing to see the word of God being shared. Thank You sooo much Holy Land for bringing it to life!

This is an amazing place. There are a lot of interesting artifacts from the Bible lands here. You can learn a lot about bible times, both culturally and biblically. It is a gem. As said by others you need to make reservations.

If you have any interest at all in either the Holyland, the Bible, culture/​customs of Biblical times, archeology, you must visit this awesome museum! The two hour guided tour for $ 2.50 for adults, $ 2.00 for children under 16, is a deal that can’t be beat and is not to be missed! I would say it’s a little much for a 5 yr old, but it kept the attention of my 7 and 9 yr old.
You do need to call in advance to schedule a tour. I can’t wait to go back!

What an awesome place. It made me want to go home and read the bible. So much to learn and look at it was like traveling to jerusalem the house is beautiful and the pieces they have are amazing take the whole family!

This is an old established exhibit/​museum. It has lots of interest helpful aids, artifacts, and examples of items from the Holyland gather overe a lifetime of the A.F. Futterer, who established the site in 1924. There are simple bible study diagrams which are great visual aids.
The muesuem is generic christian, not part of or connect with any reglious group or organization.
It is open’s all year round and the 2 hour tour is given from 7:00am to 7:00pm. The have lots of items for purchase as very reasonable prices, but remember to bring cash or check, they don’t accept credit cards.
They ask for a $ 2.50 donation for adults and $ 2.00 for children.

I went several years ago and I really enjoyed it. I’m planning another visit. :)
About the Exhibition:
«This museum, founded in 1924, is certainly one of Southern California’s forgotten gems. The collection here contains a wealth of Middle Eastern artifacts, some of which are more than 2,000 years old. Collected by explorer Antonio F. Futterer during his years abroad, some of the smaller items here include lamps, bottles and coins. The impressive mummy casket dates 600 years before the birth of Christ. Today the museum can be visited only by appointment for a small fee, which covers a tour.»
