Sacred Places Sacred Books is a fascinating exhibition about three world religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Even though they are all different, they are also alike, strikingly so. We take you on an exciting journey and look at what the Sacred books and Sacred places mean for us now. The MAS offers a window onto the living tradition of the pilgrimage. Jews, Christians and Muslims feel a strong connection with their sacred places. Pilgrims make long journeys to experience divine powers. The exhibition follows their journey from their departure and visit to the shrine right through to their homecoming. Why do some places draw in people? What makes places like Jerusalem, Rome or Mecca so special? Why are the graves of the saints visited? Travel with the pilgrims through the exhibition and relive their feelings of hope, ecstasy and purification.
