The Answers in Genesis exhibit artist team (who build exhibits for the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum) is now creating digital scale models of all the residential buildings for the massive indoor Jerusalem model, which is to be exhibited in the Jerusalem building under construction at Ark Encounter.

Below are renderings of what this model will look like. These will also give you an idea of its size (approx. 2,000 sq. ft., divided into three sections).

Our artists will need to produce around 6,000 residential buildings for this massive first-century Jerusalem model. The model will measure approximately 60' x 40' and will be the most up-to-date reconstruction of first-century Jerusalem.

It will be used as an evangelistic tool and is being built in a way that will allow it to remain current (with removable tiles that can be updated) as new excavations happen in Jerusalem, so it will have a long life of relevance to those who want to experience Jerusalem during the time of Jesus.

The Jerusalem model will be an attraction in itself and is slated to be opened early 2026. The first phase of this large construction project is the new Welcome Center and shuttle bus drop-off that will open early 2025.

Come visit our two attractions, the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum, located in Northern Kentucky. Plan your visit today at ArkEncounter.com/visit.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
