The Bode-Museum, your refuge: María López Fanjul – Mary sorrowing for the dead Jesus

Film

Seven of the Bode Museum's curators and restorers present their favourite objects and talk about difficulties they have experienced in their own lives. They explain how a work of art can help to overcome small and big crises; even those that seem insumortable. 

In an exhibition room in the Bode Museum stands a Spanish bust of Mary. María López-Fanjul comes also from Spain, where in many cities busts of Mary are omnipresent and can be found even in the streets. Mary is like a good old friend, always with you. And when María López-Fanjul feels homesick she only needs to visit the exhibition space to feel back home.
