The eight-story, 430,000-square-foot museum welcomed a standing-room-only crowd joining the celebration inside the museum's 472-seat, technologically advanced World Stage Theater.
Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said, "It is appropriate that in the nation's capital where we have soaring museums and monuments and where people visit us from around the world that the Museum of the Bible would be built here."
The morning ceremony was followed by an official ribbon-cutting in front of the museum's entrance.
