Museum of Art director Mark Magleby speaks about exhibit at devotional
In the first devotional of the spring term on the campus of Brigham Young University, BYU Museum of Art director Mark Magleby explained the significance of paintings within the current exhibit “Sacred Gifts: The Religious Paintings of Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann, and Frans Schwartz.”
The Christ-centered focus in the exhibit “leaves little doubt that the Museum of Art is a place where we strive to honor Jesus,” Magleby said.
“The sense of these works of art having a genuine spiritual connection to our covenants and to not only the Savior’s mortal ministry, but even pointing to His infinite Atonement, has been perpetually in our consciousness,” Magleby said.
