The Bible Exhibition tours the country each year and will visit Tenby for the first time this September 12-17.
It opens its doors to visitors at 10 am on Monday, September 12, and already has bookings for 100 local school children who will be visiting the exhibition on its first day.
Advance interest shown suggests that this national exhibition will attract a large number of visitors, young and old, during its six-day stay in Tenby.
In addition to the unique collection of Bibles and scrolls, there are panels depicting the story of the Bible, archaeological exhibits and Bible models. As a special feature, there is a Mary Jones section, showing the story of this young lady's enthusiasm to get her own Bible, and how this eventually led to the formation of the British and Foreign Bible Society 200 years ago.
This section of the exhibition has received a lot of interest from pupils and teachers in the past who have dealt with the Mary Jones account as part of the school curriculum.
There is also a unique section on the Welsh Bible, featuring one of the few surviving copies of the Bishop William Morgan Bible.
The exhibition, held at the De Valence Pavilion, Tenby, will be open from 10 am until 5.30 pm daily, with late night openings on Wednesday and Thursday evenings until 9 pm. On these evenings there will also be two presentations, the first on 'The Bible and Archaeology', and the second on 'The Bible and Science'.
The exhibition is being sponsored by the Tenby Christadelphians who have been active in the town for over 40 years.
Exhibition presentation packs are available for visitors - these and entry are free.
