It's pretty much the coolest thing ever.
Right now it has an exhibit called Sacred Gifts. It features the religious are of Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann, and Frans Schwartz. You may not recognize the names right off the bat, but you probably recognize their art.

I think one of the coolest parts of the exhibit is the story behind it. This exhibit has been 10 years in the making. Many of the pieces have never been on display in the U.S. and some of it has never left it's original home in a CASTLE in Denmark. Is that not the coolest thing ever?! The likelihood of some of these Carl Bloch paintings of leaving their home in Denmark again is nearly non-existent.
It's a great sacrifice for many people to let us have this magnificent art. It's truly a sacred experience and one that brings us closer to Christ.
Now ask yourself...
How do the arts help us know Christ? How can we share the gospel through art?
