The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth is presenting 'The Holy Sepulcher: Treasures From the Terra Sancta Museum, Jerusalem,' an exhibition of opulent 17th-century liturgical objects from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The collection, featuring gifts from European rulers like King Louis XIII of France and King Philip IV of Spain, includes gold, silver, and jewel-encrusted pieces such as vestments, a throne, and a sanctuary lamp, and is on view from March 15 to June 28.
This marks the first time this significant collection has been exhibited in the United States, offering American audiences a rare glimpse into the artistry and devotional history of one of Christianity's most important pilgrimage sites. The exhibition underscores the Kimbell's role in bringing internationally significant, historically rich artworks to a North Texas audience, highlighting the museum's commitment to architectural and curatorial excellence.
