Across the chasm of two thousand years, this tortured path resonates with current events for people of many faiths and cultures. In particular, it calls to mind the hazardous journeys of refugees from today’s Middle East.This exhibition invites people of all backgrounds, of all faiths, or none, to experience London as a ‘new Jerusalem’.

Take this Journey through London and let the Stations provoke your passions.At the Wallace Collection, we are representing Station Five, ‘Simon of Cyrene Helps Christ Carry the Cross’ with our 'Plaques depicting Scenes from the Life and Passion of Christ, Limoges, c. 1570-c. 1625'. We will also have a free gallery trail focusing on depictions of the crucifixion in art for visitors to enjoy.The Stations of the Cross exhibition is curated by Dr. Aaron Rosen and artist Terry Duffy.
