Rabbi Moshe Englander stared down at a bookmark where he calligraphed a woman's name in Hebrew as a half-dozen or so visitors to the Museum of the Bible watched the lettering appear piecemeal on a display screen.
It was the first time the woman, who gave her name as Hannah, had ever seen her name written in Hebrew characters — an artistic script that has been used for thousands of years.
The Museum of the Bible is “not like an art gallery where they have a beautiful painting and you can kind of see that online,” Mr. Kloha said. “Here it’s very interactive, immersive, the sound, the touchscreens — everything requires a physical presence. So it is very much a hands-on experience, rather than an online virtual experience.”
Opened in November 2017, the MOTB offers “many different forms of engagement,” Mr. Kloha said. “If you want to do more kind of classic reading [of exhibit descriptions], you could do that, if you get a little more tired and you want to be a little more passive, you could do that. That’s quite intentional, to hit different age groups, different learning styles and present material in fresh ways.”
