About the Event
Mystery & Faith: The Shroud of Turin, Museum of the Bible’s exciting new exhibition about a cloth millions believe to be the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth, will open February 26. Join exhibition curator Brian Hyland for a preview of the show before it opens. Hear about how the exhibition came together through the creative ideas of a remarkable team of exhibit developers and designers, researchers, graphic artists, voice actors, and software designers.
This month's Lunch and Learn will be held on February 16 instead of at the end of the month in anticipation of Mystery & Faith: The Shroud of Turin. The event is from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST.
