Hobby Lobby President Steve Green Plans on Building Bible Museum (VIDEO)

Hobby Lobby President Steve Green and his family have plans on constructing a Bible Museum in Washington, D.C., after choosing the nation's capital instead of New York or Dallas.

The proposed Bible Museum is expected to be built near the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall buildings, according to a New York Times article.

Green started his mission to build a bible museum when he spent at least $30M on acquiring antique artifacts such as Torahs, papyri, bibles and other vintage documents in 2009.

Historian and Archaeologist Scott Carroll told Green that the religious antique items are now estimated to be in the hundreds of million dollars range.

"You're talking about landmark acquisitions," said Carroll, in reference to historic items that Green personally owns, "These are huge things that any museum, to have a portion of them, would be honored to have."

Recently, the Christian businessman won a victory two weeks ago when the Supreme Court reversed a decision regarding the issue of family-owned businesses having to offer contraceptive coverage to their personnel.

"This nation is in danger because of its ignorance of what God has taught," said Green, in a discussion in New York in 2013, according to the New York Times, "There are lessons from the past that we can learn from, the dangers of ignorance of this book. We need to know it. If we don't know it, our future is going to be very scary."

However, not everybody is happy that Bible Museum will be built in the U.S. capital city, like Freedom From Religion Foundation Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor.

"I think they are a great threat," said Gaylor to New York Times, "My instincts would tell me that they are choosing Washington, D.C., because they intend to influence Congress."

The future Bible Museum will reportedly cost $800 million to build, which will be funded by the Green family and private contributions in order to complete the project.

In addition, the impending Bible Museum is expected to debut in 2017 in Washington, D.C.
