Tomorrow sees the opening of the new show at MUCEM. It’s called ‘Lieux Saints Partagés’ and focuses on the sites where Christianity, Islam and 
Judaism all find commonality for place of worship. It’s not just Jerusalem – the exhibition takes in other places, even Marseille where, it says, Notre Dame de la Garde is a centre for all religions.
There will be 400 art works, objects or videos, all accompanied by songs, hymns and silhouettes of pilgrims. The theme is finding bridges rather than walls between religions.
You have to hand it to MUCEM, they do seem to come up with some interesting ideas. Looking forward to visiting this!
There is a good article, diaporama and TV clip from La Provence here http://www.laprovence.com/article/culture/3382448/marseille-le-mucem-invite-au-pelerinage.html
