INSPIRED Exhibit showcases how the most banned book in history became the world’s all-time best seller. It will be open to the public April 5-20: Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the last entry time at 4 p.m.

Ancient artifacts and written materials provide for visitors an understanding of how the Bible was written and preserved through the ages and how it has survived every attempt to suppress it. Working with private collectors to tell this incredible story, the exhibit showcases items rarely seen outside of a museum. Tactile activities assist visitors in the learning process, including the operation of a working replica of Gutenberg’s printing press.

Groups are invited to attend, including church groups, homeschool groups, school groups, etc. Groups may reserve time for morning presentations, which will be given Monday-Saturday, 8 to 10 a.m. Group reservations must be made in advance by calling (417) 690-2929.

Individual visitors to The Keeter Center, and those dining at Dobyns Dining Room, will have an opportunity to sign up to view the exhibit when on site. The INSPIRED Exhibit is a free experience.
