The Museum of the Bible, located in our nation’s capital, is hosting a new worship experience that is blowing the minds of believers from all across the country. The exhibit is called “All Creation Signs” which pulls inspiration from Psalm 148, which says, “Let them praise the name of the Lord!” The whole event, which is really what it is, takes a total of 45 minutes and poses the question: What is worship?
Chief Revenue Officer for the Museum of the Bible, Garrett Hinton, says, “When somebody says worship to me, my mind immediately goes to the thing that we do at church on Sundays before the pastor gets up and gives the sermon. That’s worship and indeed, that is worship. But as the Bible talks about worship, it’s so much more than that. So the story is the story of the Bible, and it’s taking you from Creation or Genesis all the way to Revelation.”
The experience employs the latest in light detection and 3D laser technology allowing those participating in it to interact with the walls. Sounds like some serious Tony Stark stuff, right? Are we entering the age of Iron Man? Incredible to see amazing technological advancements being used to help spread the gospel and disciple believers.
“Suddenly I’m a little kid again and I could go and create and paint on the walls at the beginning and at the end of this story,” Hinton said of the program.

The Museum of the Bible teamed up with a group called CREATR to feature some of Christian music’s biggest names for this project.
“So you think of people like Jackie Hill Perry, Tasha Cobbs, Brandon Lake, Kari Job, Cody Carnes, Phil Wickham, Brooke Ligertwood, Chris Tomlin. It is the who’s who that have come together to create this organization called CREATR, lending their voices to this before you go into the experience, really setting up the experience so that your heart and your mind is prepared to talk about worship and what it is and who deems it worthy,” Hinton said.
“All Creation Sings” is not so much an exhibit but an experience. It takes guests on a journey through four acts, immersing them in a worship adventure that can only be described as heavenly. Mother and daughter, Laura and Madison DeMichael from Ohio were enthralled.
“To see the Word of God come alive in front of me and just to be a part of that cacophony of praise, like they said in the beginning, it is a continual praise that is echoing to our Lord and our Savior, beyond a shadow of a doubt, it was an experience by far,” Laura told the news outlet. Her daughter shared her thoughts on the experience saying, “Oh, it was incredible, I’ve never seen anything like it, all the colors, all the sounds.”
CBN asked the mother-daughter pair if they felt it was truly like a foretaste of heaven, to which they replied, , “Oh absolutely, absolutely, to just be a part of it and have it surrounding you.” Madison added “It makes me excited to see what heaven will be like, but not yet!” she said.
Matthias Walther, Chief Marketing Officer at the Museum of the Bible, explained to CBN that “Worship is our purpose. That’s what we’re created for. So, God created us, and he created our universe. That’s where it all starts. And I think to discover this, to see the greatness of our Creation, the greatness of God’s design in our existence, it takes you to a humble, really reflective place. And I think that’s always a good starting point to kind of find your space in the context of our existence of this world. And I think that’s specifically attractive for people who don’t have a faith background because it gives them a new North Star to understand, ‘So, what on earth am I here for?'”
What an amazing way to share God’s Word and explain how life itself is supposed to be centered on worship of Creator. May God be glorified.
