Sacramental Value: “The Holy Sepulcher” at the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth
The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth is hosting "The Holy Sepulcher: Treasures from the Terra Sancta Museum, Jerusalem," a rare exhibition of sacred objects from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Curated by Xavier F. Salomon, the show features ornate metalwork, textiles, and vestments dating from the 16th to 18th centuries, drawn from the Terra Sancta Museum's collection and traveling to only two U.S. venues. The exhibition includes pieces such as a gilt silver reliquary from 1628-29 and a gold crucifix from 1756, displayed in low lighting to evoke a candlelit church atmosphere.
