Belief in life after death is a very personal matter. In the ‘Life and Death’ exhibition at the MAS you will come across the different ways that people around the world have understood these matters, and the intense need that people everywhere have for ritual experience.
On the 7th floor of the MAS, we hear from gods and humans. Discover the many different views of life and death. From ancient Egypt, African beliefs about ancestors and the ideas of reincarnation and karma in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, through to the liberal humanism that strives for a good and meaningful life together.
The guide focuses on the three Religions of the Book: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In the Torah, Bible and Quran, God reveals himself to man. How did believers visualise all this? Central to the renewed arrangement is Jerusalem, a holy city for the three religions.
