Our Culture

Museum of the Bible offers a highly challenging and profoundly meaningful work environment where every team member is unified around our unique and global mission. Our museum bridges the ancient and the modern—from a Babylonian brick dating to around 580 BC to the latest technology in our immersive surround-sound theater. Our team also spans a wide range of careers, from those with decades of extensive professional experience to new graduates and interns.

With new leadership in place, it’s an exciting time to work at the museum as we plan for the future.

The museum is located in Southwest DC, on the Federal Center SW Metro stop. Our official headquarters is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (on the Hobby Lobby campus). Most of our positions are in these two locations, but some may be remote.
