Sacred Texts, Holy Images Rouault's Miserere and Chagall's Bible Series |
Sacred Texts,
Holy Images features works by two of the most important religious artists of the twentieth century, Georges Rouault and Marc
Chagall. Museum visitors have a unique opportunity to view two series that have never been shown together.
The opportunity
to exhibit these two remarkable collections is made possible by the generosity of the Mark Foster Foundation, which has established
Fine Arts in the Academy™ to advance the serious study of art, history, and Western tradition.
Admission to the museum (includes Sacred Texts, Holy Images) is $6 for adults, $4 for children and $5 for seniors. Museum and
exhibits are free to all museum members and Baylor University students.
This extraordinary exhibition will be on display through November 28th in the Thomas E. and Emilyne Weed Anding
Traveling Exhibits Gallery.
For all related events and more information see Baylor University
Honors College Sacred Texts, Holy Images website.
