While in Utah we went down to BYU to visit the Sacred Gifts exhibit at the Museum of Art. It was one of my favorite things we did to celebrate the Christmas season. This is an exhibit of the religious artwork of Carl Bloch, Heinrich Hoffman, and Frans Schwartz and the paintings all depict the life of Christ.
It was an incredibly touching and moving experience for me. You can rent an ipad for a few dollars and listen to explanations about the paintings, the painters, where the painting hung originally as well as messages from general authorities, latter-day saints and art scholars. Some of the paintings have music you can listen to that goes along with them. That was probably my favorite part.

The exhibit is free but you have to reserve tickets online in advance. It runs through May so hurry down to Provo and see this exhibit if you have the chance! It was amazing!
