IWU Named Exclusive Academic Sponsor of Museum of the Bible's World Stage Theater

September 26, 2024 (Washington, DC) — Museum of the Bible (MOTB) announced a strategic alliance with Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) to serve as the exclusive academic sponsor of the museum’s World Stage Theater (WST) and to collaborate on future projects involving the school’s academic and research opportunities.

IWU will sponsor content seen by WST visitors at more than 150 events hosted by the museum venue, including world-renowned authors, speakers, and worship artists. The WST is an intimate 8,000-square-foot amphitheater-style hall that seats 472. It has 17 state-of-the-art floor-to-ceiling 4K projectors, turning the entire venue into a stunning and dynamic digital canvas.

In addition to the co-marketing opportunities, the alliance will encourage both organizations to identify ways for their respective academic and curatorial teams to partner on mission-aligned museum projects.  

“We are so excited to welcome Indiana Wesleyan University as our exclusive academic industry partner for our World Stage Theater,” Museum of the Bible CEO Dr. Carlos Campo said. “Our museum is constantly looking for exceptional organizations in their fields to help provide visitors with the best interactive and curated experiences possible. We believe an alliance with IWU will expand the museum’s reach as it is one of the largest faith-based institutions in the country, with strong academic programs and a rich Christian history.”

“We are excited and grateful to partner with Museum of the Bible.  This collaboration emphasizes our shared belief in the importance of scripture in the daily lives of our university community,” IWU President Dr. Jon Kulaga said. “This strategic alliance provides formational opportunities for our students and alumni.”
