Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology

WELCOME

I would like to welcome you to the Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology on the campus of the Pacific School of Religion, located in beautiful Berkeley, California. For over 70 years, the Badè Museum has served as a window into the ancient past of Israelite society promoting education, public outreach, and research opportunities for scholars around the country. I encourage you to explore our website and consider a visit to our museum gallery whose intimate setting is ideal for the appreciation of artifacts and objects that originate from halfway around the world.
