SUMMARY:Good Book: Bible Stories from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:November 14, 2026–February 14, 2027, Gallery 119\nFor hundreds of years, the Bible has been the most-printed and best-selling book in the world. At the same time, it has served as a continual inspiration for visual art, from stories of creation and the ancient history of Israel to the life of Jesus and his teachings.\nThe function of biblical art can vary, from being meant for public display to support communal worship to serving as illustration for the written text; other times, artists may create independent artworks, using the stories to express their own personal devotion or broader concerns. Yet always, the resulting artwork is an interpretation of the text, using the language of art—colors, shapes, lines—to create a visual commentary that can open up new insights. Drawing on artworks from across cultures and in a range of mediums—including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and sculptures—this exhibition considers how images drawn from the Bible invite us to see “the old, old story” anew.\nPlan your visit to see these and other incredible works!\nFeatured Image: Artist unknown (Flemish), Old Testament Scene, possibly The Last Days of the World according to the Prophet Joel (detail), late 16th century, oil on wood.
