The Shroud of Turin: An Immersive Experience

A 10,000-square-foot museum on the Christ Cathedral campus in Orange County, where faith and forensics meet. Three 360-degree theaters, two detailed Shroud replicas, new sacred art and interactive exhibits take you from the Gospels to the tomb.

Othonia is proud to have helped create it, in partnership with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange and Papaian Studios.
