The mystery of the Holy Shroud of Turin
An enigmatic story that has played a decisive role in the representation of Jesus
The Holy Shroud is a relic, believed to have been used to wrap the body of Jesus Christ after his death. For years, it has been challenging scientists and theologians to explain its mysteries—such as how the image of a man’s face could have been created on its cloth without the use of pigments.

The central figure of Christianity
Jesús de Nazaret
In this room we analyse how Jesus of Nazareth has been represented in Christianity. The image of Jesus has been represented in countless ways over the course of history, always maintaining its importance as a central element of Christianity.
Historical context
His condemnation and death
What were the last days of Jesus’ life like and what happened in the days following his death? After being flagellated and crowned with thorns, Jesus was nailed to a cross, left to die and then buried. On the third day he rose from the dead. In this room you will find archaeological items related to this transcendent moment in history, such as Judas’ 30 pieces of silver.
A Shroud appears
The Holy Shroud
In 1357, a shroud appears. It is in this very year that we find the first reference to the piece of fabric that we know today as The Holy Shroud of Turin. This room will take you on a journey through the relic’s history, from its discovery through to the fire of 1997.
