Content:
The core belief of the three monotheistic faiths, that there is one God, is the inspiration for this important exhibition, presenting the symbols - the outer face - of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Symbols enable people to bring the incomprehensible into the realm of the tangible while keeping the prohibition on divine representation. The menorah, the cross and the star, appearing on the antiquities displayed in the exhibition, along with other less known symbols, link to complex ideas and traditions in the three faiths. These unique and shared symbols are presented in Three Faces of Monotheism on artifacts ranging from small rings to large architectural elements such as door lintels and columns.
