COMING SPRING 2027

For nearly a millennium, pilgrims have journeyed across Spain along the Way St. James (also, known as the Camino de Santiago) with a common destination: the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Located in the northwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula, the cathedral is home to the tomb of Christ’s Apostol James the Greater making it one of the most important sites ot pilgrimage and devotion in the Christian world. Each traveler’s journey of faith, determination, and hope is shaped by the rich artistic heritage they experience on the Way, culminating with a masterpiece of medieval architecture, the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

In spring 2027, the Meadows Museum presents treasures from this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage site, many for the first time outside of Spain. Visitors to At Journey’s End are invited to marvel at nearly sixty religious works from the collections of the cathedral from monumental sculpture to precious textiles, and golden vessels used in the celebration of the Mass. Together, these objects of beauty reveal how a centuries-old journey gave rise to a rich artistic tradition that continues to inspire.

The journey begins soon. Discover what awaits at its end.

This exhibition has been organized by the Meadows Museum, SMU, Dallas, and the Fundación Catedral de Santiago de Compostela, and is funded by a generous gift from The Meadows Foundation.
