UTAH---The BYU Museum of Art's upcoming exhibit, "Sacred Gifts: The Religious Art of Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hofmann and Frans Schwartz," has been a labor of love for its curators. While the MOA often organizes custom exhibitions, "Sacred Gifts," opening Friday, took curators into uncharted territory. For the last few years, certain MOA staff traveled to Europe a few times a year, visiting churches, museums and archives in places like Denmark and Germany. Oftentimes, the paintings they wanted for the exhibition rested in altars, as these churches' central paintings, where they hadn't moved since being installed in the late 1800s. [link]
