Throughout six rooms we break down the most important aspects of one of the great mysteries of history: Who was the man of the Holy Shroud? This historical, artistic and scientific tour on the studies of the Shroud, its impact on the Christian world and on the representation of the image of Jesus, will make you travel through time and beyond science. This experience culminates with a hyperrealistic sculpture in real size based on scientific and forensic criteria extracted from the Shroud; of the image of a man who could have been Jesus after his death.
