Inspired by Scripture - Guided Tour of the Museum of Biblical Art, Dallas - Tuesday, May 22, 10 a.m.
The Museum of Biblical Art, rebuilt after a devastating fire in 2005, is a cultural crossroads using art to promote tolerance and understanding of the humanities and Western culture. The museum today is larger than the original, featuring over 30,000 square feet of expanded art galleries and exhibits. It is located at 7500 Park Lane in Dallas, just west of NorthPark Center.
The museum hosts a broad array of painting and sculpture by premier artists, from Botticelli to John Singer Sargent to Andy Warhol. Its main attraction is a 40-foot wide mural of the Resurrection by internationally known artist Ron DiCianni. There is also an extensive collection of lithographs by Marc Chagall. Other galleries feature Biblical archaeology, Jewish and Israeli art, religious architecture, and African American, Hispanic, and contemporary art.
The museum recently acquired a life-size replica of Michelangelo's "Pietá" cast in bronze and authorized by the Vatican. It came directly from the Michelangelo Museum in Florence. Another outstanding exhibit is the "Tapestry of the Centuries" mural by Vladimir Gorsky, a monumental painting that illustrates the people and events that shaped world history, from the birth of Jesus through 1999 A.D.
A bus for up to 24 riders will be available, leaving from KoG at 9:30 a.m. sharp. If you drive on your own, meet at the museum at 9:45 a.m. Admission of $9 per person will be payable the day of the tour and paid collectively for the entire group. The tour will conclude with lunch on your own at NorthPark Center.
To sign up for this event, email gusto@kingofglory.com or call 214-458-3271. Cutoff for registration is May 15. For more information, visit www.biblicalarts.org.
Please note that the tour is on a Tuesday because the museum is closed on Mondays.
