Construction continues on the beautiful new Creation Museum exhibit about identity, Radiance. I’m excited to share some behind-the-scenes update photos of the ongoing construction as we get ready to open this new exhibit later this year.

Enjoy these photos and renderings of what will be another stunning exhibit.

One of the number-one questions young people are wrestling with these days is “Who am I?” Questions of identity are soaring, with identity-based content on social media platforms like TikTok garnering billions of views and internet searches like “Am I gay?” or “Am I trans?” jumping in number each year.

We at Answers in Genesis want to help young people find their true identity—an identity grounded in God’s design from creation and in the gospel of Jesus Christ. And that’s what we’re doing with this brand-new exhibit, located in what used to be Discovery Hall in the museum’s lower level.

Radiance will be powerful for young people, pointing them to God’s Word as the unshakable foundation for their questions, including the question “Who am I?”

I am thrilled that we continue to produce cutting-edge exhibits that exalt God’s Word and deal with the big issues of our day.

And There’s More Coming Soon

There are other exciting things happening at our design studio where most of the exhibits for the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum are designed and constructed. Our talented fabrication team is hard at work making even more custom elements for the new Ark Encounter Welcome Center. They are crafting beautiful wooden beams that will be at the tops of the pillars as you walk in, and they’re creating stunning window shutters, which will all be fastened with hand-wrought cut nails.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
