The Dennis & Phillip Ratner Museum

Open to the Public - Sundays 10:00am. - 4:30 pm. without reservations! 
No admission charge!

The Dennis and Phillip Ratner Museum has been established with one purpose in mind: to foster love of the Bible through the graphic arts. The Museum is a walk through the Hebrew Bible via visual arts. The Museum is a non-profit foundation open to the public that hopefully will serve as a prototype for other communities globally.

The Museum has been the dream of the two cousins, whose roots in the Washington area go back three generations. Both Dennis and Phillip feel a great sense of belonging and it is their desire to make a gift to the community that they have prospered in. They see the Museum as their legacy.

Construction and endowment of the Museum are being funded by Dennis and Phillip Ratner and a group of family and friends who chose to join this under-taking at the inception. Future gifts by individuals are welcome.
