Remembering, examining, and reconsidering the Bible’s encounter with Korea.
Seoul Bible Museum is a growing virtual museum exploring how the Bible came to Korea; how it has been read, translated, obeyed, misused, and rediscovered within Korean culture and history; and how Korea with the Bible has served beyond its borders.
Operating now
Open now, and what you can explore today
Seoul Bible Museum is an operating, permanent online museum program of CCF. Its aim is to raise awareness of the importance of the Bible, beginning with Korea as a living case study, and to ask every visitor what the Bible means to them.
What CCF is
CrossCulture Community Foundation is a Texas nonprofit recognized under section 501(c)(3) that creates public places with resources where people are free to encounter and explore the Bible’s Story. It owns and operates this museum.
What the museum offers today
Six permanent rooms follow the Bible’s own story, the Korean world it entered, the arrival of the book, the uneven encounter that followed, Korea’s carrying of the book outward, and the Bible across Asia. Two special exhibitions—Light and Salt, a four-room exhibition on the Bible in Korean culture, and The Door That Was Closing, a seven-scene exhibition on Korean women and the biblical witness—go deeper into particular Korean experiences. New visitors can begin with a guided introduction of about ten minutes. Everything is available in English or Korean.
How the museum works
The museum’s research standard ties each central claim to a date, person, place, and primary or reliable secondary source, and separates what the record says from what the museum interprets and what remains unknown. Visitors can report a factual error, an image-rights concern, or an accessibility barrier at museum@crossculture-community.com; material corrections will record what changed and why.
Today and the long-term vision
The online museum is open and operating now, and it will continue after any physical museum opens. A physical museum in Seoul is a separate, long-term vision; no museum foundation, land, building, or construction project exists today.
Community rooted in Jesus Christ, bearing fruit in love.
Encounter, Explore, Serve, Grow, and Go are not a sequence or ranks. They overlap and recur throughout life.
Public places and resources for encountering the Bible’s Story.
CCF creates public places with resources where people are free to encounter and explore the Bible’s Story and discover ways to serve, grow, and go.
The long-term capstone is a permanent home in Seoul.
This is a long-term vision. No museum foundation, land, building, or construction project exists today.
Three recurring questions
Asked again in every gallery.
How did Korea get the Bible—and what was here before it arrived?
What impact did the Bible have—past, present, and future?
What does the Bible mean to me?

Present status and transparency
Seoul Bible Museum is open now as a permanent online museum program of CCF, and visitors worldwide can use it freely. It is owned and operated by CCF and is not a separate legal entity. A physical museum in Seoul is a separate, long-term vision. As CC’s work in Korea expands, SBM’s future legal and operational structure may be reconsidered and formally established.
Ownership and administration
The Seoul Bible Museum digital museum and its websites are owned and administered by CrossCulture Community Foundation (CCF), a Texas nonprofit recognized as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3), EIN 84-2974290.
Work in Korea
The museum’s work in Korea is supported through CrossCulture Community (CC), a Korean nonprofit unincorporated association (비영리 비법인단체), business registration no. 602-80-07169. CC is not a Korean nonprofit corporation or tax-deductible organization.
Present project stewardship
Founder Bill R. Majors, who lives in Seoul, presently leads this project. CCF is currently founder-led and is developing its websites and self-guided resources first.
