Vatican Mosaic Exhibition

Old Ursuline COnvent - New Orleans, Louisiana

January 28th to June 1st, 2007

An Evolution of The Human Spirit as Seen Through Mosaic Art

Thirty-seven mosaics form the exhibit and will include original mosaic creations of the art of Monet, Van Gogh, Chagall, Rouault and Rembrandt and will be displayed within the walls of a building that was once the convent of the Ursuline Nuns and whose own history dates back to the earliest years of the City of New Orleans, to 1752. It is the first time in 500-years that the art of the Vatican Mosaic Collection has been displayed in America.

Each of the images is a Mosaic created by the Vatican mosaicists, which in these cases are copies of art of master painters. The mosaics will not fade, therefore are true preservation of the art of the masters.
