Vatican Splendors
Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale
Opening this weekend and running through April 24, one of the largest collections of art, documents and historically significant objects from the Vatican ever to tour North America will be on view at the Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University. Presented by Holy Cross Hospital in association with PNC Bank and AutoNation, the exhibition Vatican Splendors: A Journey through Faith and Art presents nearly 200 objects, many of which have never been on public view.
The renowned exhibition includes spectacular paintings by artists such as Giotto and Il Guercino, sculpture by Baroque master Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and many unique objects illustrating the Catholic Church’s impact on history and culture. These include mosaics, sculpture, jewels, intricately embroidered silk vestments, uniforms of the Papal Swiss Guard, as well as an elaborately decorated gold and silver reliquary containing bone fragments of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
