Treasure Bulletin BoardUpcoming Treasure & Archaeology EventsATLANTA, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- The largest touring exhibit in U.S. history opened today in Atlanta. "From Abraham to Jesus" will travel to 28 cities over the next two years and features the largest collection of sacred texts and artifacts, many never before seen outside Israel. "From Abraham to Jesus" presents more than 340 of the rarest artifacts from the Holy Land, many making their U.S. debut, including the ossuary or bone box -- archaeologists believe held the remains of Simon the Cyrene, the man who carried the cross for Jesus. The exhibit, which has been more than three years in the making, is being presented by the Way Makers and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Institute of Archeology. "From Abraham to Jesus" is a high-tech entertainment experience. It uses photomurals, thematic sets, digital surround sound, the first 3D video shot in Israel, state-of-the art lighting and narration, combined with a musical score produced by national recording artist Don Moen, to help visitors see, hear and feel 2,500 years of Biblical history. "From Abraham to Jesus" also features never-before-seen paintings by America's most collected living artist, Thomas Kinkade, The Painter of Light(TM). "Voltaire said, 'art is the signature of civilization,'" stated Kinkade at a press conference to open the "From Abraham to Jesus" exhibit this morning. "Very little is left behind from achievements of everyday life in a culture except architecture and artifacts. The pieces in 'From Abraham to Jesus' represent everyday art, including vessels and tools, that aren't just utilitarian. The artifacts and sacred texts in this exhibit from so long ago have helped to define our world today." The exhibit opens Sept. 15 in Atlanta and will travel to 27 other cities across the United States and Canada before closing at The Meadowlands in N.J., on Dec. 21, 2008. Some 5,000 people a day are expected to visit the exhibit, which will have a limited engagement of roughly three weeks in each city. Visitors can expect to take anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours to see the exhibit at their own pace.
