In 2014 the Benedictine Archabbey of Pannonhalma hosts two intertwined exhibitions. Since March 2014 the exhibition Icons and Relics:
Veneration of Images between East and West (March 21 – November 11,
2014) can be visited in the in the “old” exhibition hall of the monastery (inaugurated in 2001). In July 2014 opens the inaugural exhibition Image and Christianity: Visual Media in the Middle Ages (July 10 – September 30, 2014) in the new Abbey Manor Visitor Centre.
The aim of the exhibitions is to show to the viewer the various forms and media of image-worship in medieval Christianity. The two exhibitions are accompanied by a joint bilingual (Hungarian-English) catalogue entitled Image and Christianity: Visual Media in the Middle Ages, which contains the reproductions and descriptions of the exhibited works and studies discussing the questions of mosaic technique, book illumination and the cult of relics.
