Judaism, Christianity and islam

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 | Museum aan de Stroom highlights the pilgrimage to sacred places. You discover shrines that have exerted a magnetic attraction for centuries and walk in the footsteps of the pilgrims. Follow their adventures in rare documents and valuable works of art from around the world. In the Nottebohm Room of the Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library, you are granted a unique insight into the shape, content, use and study of the Tanakh, Bible and Quran. At both venues, you hear personal accounts about the meaning of the pilgrimage and the Book for believers today in Antwerp.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are well represented in Antwerp, too. The exhibition 'Sacred Places | Sacred Books' is an ambitious project involving various heritage organisations and three religious communities.
