Seeking the Divine


May 2005 - May 2008

This exhibition explores rituals and ceremonies that empower people to seek the divine, especially during crucial life events such as birth, coming-of-age, marriage, and death.

Globally, a sense of divinity drives people to seek spiritual guidance and celebrate life’s blessings. Understanding this universality helps Earth’s many peoples cross cultural and religious barriers and discover our common humanity.
