The Lost Mirror. Jews and Converts in the Middle Ages

23 Feb 2024 — 26 May 2024 at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya · Barcelona
The Lost Mirror. Jews and Converts in the Middle Ages is an exhibition that examines the complex and often turbulent history of Jewish communities and conversos — those who converted from Judaism to Christianity — during the medieval period.

Through artifacts, documents, and works of art, the show illuminates the social, religious, and cultural dynamics that shaped the lives of these communities, exploring themes of identity, coexistence, persecution, and memory.

The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on a chapter of history that has long remained in the shadows, and to consider its enduring relevance today.
