Around 7,000 people visited the ‘Body.Cult.Religion’ exhibition, which ended yesterday (26 February 2025) with a finissage. The director of the Bible Museum, Prof. Holger Strutwolf, who organised the project of the Cluster of Excellence ‘Religion and Politics’ together with the Archaeological Museum, is very satisfied with the response to the exhibition: ‘It was a huge success’. Many people who are not normally interested in the Bible and religion came to the Bible Museum on Pferdegasse in particular. The special exhibition was also a benefit from an academic perspective: ‘This was a highlight not only of our themed year, but for the entire Cluster of Excellence,’ emphasised Prof. Angelika Lohwasser. ‘The exhibition has intensively fertilised the interdisciplinary exchange.’
