Today is the final day for history buffs, art lovers, cultural explorers and faithful Christians to see “Passages,” a monumental event focusing on the most copied, most quoted, most printed, most banned and most influential book of all time.
The vast exhibition is closing its world-premiere run at 7 tonight at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, 415 Couch Drive. It is next headed to St. Peters Square in Vatican City. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. today at the museum.
“Passages,” which celebrates the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, is the nonsectarian, worldwide traveling exhibition of The Green Collection, among the world’s newest and largest private collections of rare biblical manuscripts and artifacts. The collection is named after the Green family, founder-owners of Oklahoma City’s arts and crafts retailer Hobby Lobby.
More than 50,000 people have visited “Passages” since it opened in May, said Leslie Spears, the museum’s communications manager. It next is headed to St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City.

Let’s hope that someone will host for another exhibit, so that for those who were not able to attend the event can have another chance to gaze at the “Passage”.
