Is this the burial cloth of Jesus Christ?


Experience the mystery of the ‘Man of the Shroud’ and be drawn into the scientific evidence behind the most studied artefact in the world as this exhibition tours Tasmania.

The ‘Shroud of Turin’ is a linen burial cloth that bears a resemblance of a man who was brutally tortured and crucified:

  • To this day, no one knows how the image was formed
  • The image was formed after the bloodstains congealed on the cloth
  • The results of the 1988 radiocarbon-dating that dated the Shroud to the Middle Ages have been shown to be unreliable
  • There are five scientific and three extrinsic dating methods that place the origins of the Shroud much nearer to 1st century Palestine

See the evidence for yourself and consider

The exhibition features a 14 foot life-size replica of the Shroud of Turin along with the history and science behind it.
