This exhibition focused on the religious practices of the ancient Mediterranean world and the modern challenges in piecing together an accurate picture of classical religion from surviving material fragments.
Featuring Greek, Roman, and Early Christian antiquities from the Smart’s permanent collection and loans of prints and illustrated books from Renaissance and Baroque Europe, this exhibition examined the religious life of things, both in their ancient contexts and in modern attempts to interpret them.
This exhibition and related programs were made possible by an endowment by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; the Rhoades Foundation; and the Office of the Provost, University of Chicago.
