In making the announcement, Irvin Lippman, the Museum's Executive Director, said, “This exhibition provides residents and visitors to South Florida a singular opportunity to view an enormously important artistic and historic collection that literally opens a window onto the development of Catholic Church, its contributions to the political and cultural life of the western world, and depictions of faith and art.”=0D=0A=Vatican Splendors: A Journey through Faith and Art presents spectacular paintings by artists such as Giotto and Il Guercino and sculpture by Baroque master Gian Lorenzo Bernini, along with unique objects illustrating the Catholic Church's impact on history and culture. The exhibition's more than 200 objects, many of which have never been on public view, are presented in the Museum's galleries and in specially-created environments that enhance the visitor's understanding of both the historical as well as the artistic significance of each work. Objects include paintings, 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. A highlight of the exhibition is a small stone Pieta?, a relief carved by Michelangelo late in his career, which is accompanied by documents and personal objects belonging to the Renaissance master.=0D=0A= =0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:Tuesday - Saturday 11 am - 5 pm, Sunday 12 - 5 pm
