Robert & Sandra Bowden open the Exhibition of Their ECCE HOMO/BEHOLD THE MAN collection at the Museum of the Bible

Posted on March 4, 2024

The centerpiece of the exhibit is the work of iconic surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, whose unique interpretation of the “Ecce Homo” moment adds depth and intrigue to the collection. Drawing from John 19, where Pontius Pilate presents Jesus to the crowd, the exhibit explores the evolving visualizations of Jesus's suffering during his trial, crucifixion and death via a rich variety of artistic styles and media. The artwork is graciously on loan from the Bowden Collections, a private gallery of Sandra Bowden, founder of Christians in the Visual Arts (CIVA) and former board member for the Museum of Biblical Art (MoBiA).

Included with general admission, guests to the museum may view the exhibit’s unique journey through art, history and faith on Floor 5.

Her garage even doubles as a shipping center for sending her traveling shows out to museums, colleges and churches.
