Esta exposición extraordinaria presenta más de sesenta objetos de plata, oro, esmalte y joyas preciosas, dotados por monarcas y gobernantes europeos a la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro en Jerusalén, un sitio de devoción cristiana y peregrinación. Relicarios, cruces, candelabros, cálices y vestimentas deslumbrantes, muchos sin igual en todo el mundo, han sido utilizados en ceremonias religiosas durante siglos y representan el apogeo de la técnica artesanal de los siglos XVII y XVIII. Solo dos museos norteamericanos presentarán esta exposición que es la primera, y quizá la única, vez que aparecerán estos objetos en los Estados Unidos.
