The exhibition“ Shared Sacred Sites“ is in Tunis!
The Bardo Museum, from 19 November 2016 to 12 February 2017 is home to a flagship exhibition dedicated to religious identity in the Mediterranean and presenting Tunisian masterpieces as well as rare international loans
Beyond religious wars and sterile debates, is there space for exchange, at the crossroads of Jewish, Muslim and
Christian religions? A little more than a year after it was presented for the first time at the MuCEM in Marseilles, the exhibition“ Shared Sacred Sites“ crosses the Big Blue and offers a voyage of discovery into the Mediterranean basin, into sites and figures of sanctity shared by these three religions. Over 150 artworks, everyday objects, films and photographs from institutions or international private collections and from all the museums of Tunisia( Nabeul, Sbeitla, Raqqada, Carthage, Djerba, Sfax and Tunis) offer an exceptional journey, at the same time artistic, anthropological and historical. The idea of sharing and its polysemy( namely the acts of sharing and dividing) are at the heart of the exhibition which presents sacred sites characterised by their great tolerance, such as the monastery of St. George off the shores of Istanbul or the ancient El Ghriba synagog in Djerba; but also sacred sites marked by division such as the Tomb of Rachel in Palestine. In total, more than twenty sites shared from Maghreb to Middle East compose the exhibition, which is the result of a partnership between the National Heritage Institute, the Bardo Museum and the MuCEM.
