You’re invited to attend the Museum & Gallery’s eleventh annual Living Gallery, an extraordinary presentation that weaves together art, music and drama. Striking re-creations of artistic masterpieces are brought to life by real people in unique “living pictures.” This year’s program, “This Is My Word,” emphasizes the power of God’s life-changing Word through the remarkable medium of illuminated manuscripts.
For the first time, the Living Gallery production will feature two illuminated manuscript pages from the Book of Hours joined by da Vinci’s Last Supper and Versailles’ The Resurrection of Christ by Charles de La Fosse. Make plans to attend this inspirational program; you’ll experience an unforgettable Easter celebration. For ticket information, call 864.770.1372.
The Museum & Gallery is open from 2 to 7 p.m. on performance days for guests to see other great masterworks of art. Your Living Gallery ticket grants you free admission to M&G on performance days.
