Attractive as any museum should be. Complex to conceive but simple to approach. In a space where images have crossed the border of familiar experience — of worship — and passed into the experience of knowledge that a museum imposes.
The visitor can no longer kiss the images, but can participate in the experience of knowledge: What happened, for example, between a sculpture from the 4th century AD. which represents Christ as Orpheus, holding the lyre, and in an image of the 6th AD. that Christ is transformed into the Almighty in the form that has been consolidated ever since and is familiar to us to this day? Do you suspect there is an interesting story here?
