The Bible’s story remains at the center.
The museum does not hide its Christian standpoint. It also distinguishes historical evidence from theological interpretation and invites visitors to examine both.

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.
We do not draw progress as a straight line.
Change includes reception and resistance, adaptation and misuse, advance and reversal. Scripture challenges Korean culture—and the cultural patterns that persist within Christian communities.
Exhibit, research, preserve, and teach.
Current work includes virtual permanent and special exhibitions, historical research, source registration, educational material, and planning for future artifact and oral-history collections.
The virtual museum is not the destination.
The long-term vision is a physical museum in Seoul where visitors from Korea, Asia, and the world can encounter this history in person.
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
This site is the public, growing virtual Seoul Bible Museum. The existing museum at museumofthebiblekorea.com remains unchanged while its Google Ads Grant review is completed. Here, the museum grows one durable layer at a time through visitor experience, research, sources, and interviews.
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 unincorporated association (비법인단체), business registration no. 602-80-07169. CC is not represented as a Korean nonprofit corporation or tax-deductible organization.
Present project stewardship
Founder Bill R. Majors (매죠스빌리래이), a dual citizen of the Republic of Korea and the United States residing in Seoul, presently leads the museum project. The long-term physical museum in Seoul will require a separate Korean nonprofit foundation in the future and is not represented as an organization that already exists.
