About the Art in the Special Exhibits

These are examples of Special Exhibits that could be created in the future.  Special Exhibits would be an opportunity to do a deep dive exploration on a specific aspect of Jesus.  Special Exhibits would be largely curated through loans from other museum and collectors.  There is a nearly endless set of subjects that could be explored in Special Exhibits.
