"The Holy Sepulcher: Treasures from the Terra Sancta Museum, Jerusalem" showcases more than 60 objects in silver, gold, enamel, and precious jewels, given by the Catholic rulers of Europe, the Holy Roman Emperors in Vienna and the monarchs of Portugal, Spain, France, and Naples, to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem.

For nearly 2,000 years, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher has been a site of Christian devotion and pilgrimage built on what is traditionally believed to be the site of Jesus of Nazareth’s death, burial, and resurrection, and its treasures have been used in religious ceremonies for centuries. These objects, including spectacular reliquaries, crosses, candlesticks, chalices, and vestments representing the height of 17th- and 18th-century craftsmanship, have few equivalents anywhere else in the world.

Traveling to only two venues in North America, the Frick Collection in New York and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, the exhibition represents the first and possibly only time these treasures will be seen in the US.
