    Other institutions get to utilize paintings for two years while BJU totally renovates its building:

    Interview with Erin Rodman Jones

    "The Museum and Gallery...will be closed until 2019....'we are working to place loans around the world.....Germany, Italy, Japan. We even have several objects going to the Museum of the Bible in D.C., which opens in November. But we also want to have some things that are local, so that people here can still enjoy the collection'."


    North Carolina's Nasher Museum Exhibiting Counter-Reformation Art of Carlo Dolci

    Carlo Dolci's "meticulous paintings of Christian themes, saturated with emotion and glistening with color, were everything the iconoclast reformers railed against."


    "The Rev. Michael Martin, the Catholic chaplain at Duke University, leads a group of Catholic students in prayer before Carlo Dolci’s artwork at the Nasher Museum."
