Edinburgh set to host religious exhibition

People who are staying in city centre accommodation in Edinburgh may enjoy attending a new exhibition of religious art.

Shadows of the Divine is being held in Edinburgh University's Martin Hall, New College and it will run between May 13th and June 12th.

The exhibition will feature works from the Methodist Art Collection, which was begun by Dr John Gibbs, who asked minister Douglas Wollen to create a collection of contemporary religious works of art.

It is now considered to be the best denominational collection of modern out art outside of the Vatican.

On show will also be one of Scotland's first edition of the 1611 King James Version of the bible.

Monique Sliedrecht, curator of the exhibition, told the Edinburgh Evening News: "This is a brilliant opportunity to view some of our most inspired and inspirational artworks.

"Lovers of great art as well as church people will learn much and will go away from the exhibition hugely stimulated by what they will see."
