The collections show religious relics from the 10th BC onward, starting with ancient Egyptian, oriental and Jewish works, found during archaeological projects in the Middle East. Christianity should develop a true cult of relics however and the biblical written word, apocryphal documents and objects are analysed to get insight into their meaning from their contemporary perspective.
