[Culture Week] Billy Graham Center exhibit explores images of the Cross
For two thousand years, the cross has been a universally recognized symbol of the Christian faith.

There’s a short article and a few accompanying images on their website showcasing the exhibit; to see the full exhibit, you’ll need to visit the Museum itself. The brief sampling on the website is certainly intriguing.
