Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology

About

For over 80 years, the Badè Museum has served as a window into ancient Israelite society by promoting education, public outreach, and research opportunities for scholars around the country.

Description

MISSION STATEMENT:
The mission of the Badè Museum is to foster a greater understanding of and appreciation for the ancient biblical world through the preservation, research, interpretation, and presentation of artifacts recovered by the Museum’s founder, William F. Badè.

COLLECTION:
The collections of the Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology are rich in history, both ancient and modern. Spanning a period of some 3,000 years, the museum holds a phenomenal array of everyday artifacts such as cooking pots, grinding stones, lamps, and agricultural implements from ancient Palestine along with colorful Greek and Cypriot ceramics, scarabs from Egypt, and cuneiform tablets from ancient Mesopotamia.

RESEARCH:
The Badè Museum continues the work of William Badè and the former Badè Institute of Biblical Archaeology by engaging in on-going research with the permanent Tell en-Nasbeh collection. Much ongoing research of specific artifacts and object types from the collection is done by museum staff and visiting scholars. This work has led to numerous publications, exhibits, lectures on the collection. Information on Past and Current Projects can be found on our site: http://bade.psr.edu/content/research .

Tell en-Nasbeh Database:
This project is a digital catalog of all the artifacts, archives, and photographs from the Tell en-Nasbeh Collection at the Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA. This collection of over 5,800 items derives from the excavations of Tell en-Nasbeh conducted by William Frederic Badè between 1926 and 1935. The project was jointly sponsored by the Pacific School of Religion (PSR) and the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR) and represents one of the earliest scientific excavations in Israel/Palestine. View the progress so far on our Open Context page: http://opencontext.org/projects/B4345F6A-F926-4062-144E-3FBC175CC7B6
