Offering rituals played a key role in ancient religions. In a form of &#8216;contract&#8217;, they enabled men and gods to enter into contact. The gifts complete a process initiated by a vow: by imploring the divinity, the promise of an offering is made if the vow is granted. <\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>In Antiquity, gifts took the form of sacrificial animals, foodstuffs, coins, everyday objects or furniture to adorn or equip shrines. In bronze, wood, terracotta or stone, miniature objects and figurines or plaques representing parts of the human body were created especially to be offered to the gods. These are commonly known as ex-votos. In Roman Gaul, anatomical ex-votos abounded, including feet, hands, busts, lungs and even eyes in bronze sheet metal. These &#8220;bodies in pieces&#8221; are reminiscent of the ex-votos found from the Middle Ages to the present day, bearing witness to a timeless and universal plea for healing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"block-buttons\">\n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"custom-gallery gallery\">\n  <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/corr-2.jpg\" class=\"swiper-slide\" data-caption=\"Exposition Donnant Donnant : \">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1002\/corr-2-750x99999.jpg\"\n        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1002\/corr-2-750x99999.jpg 1x, https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1002\/corr-2-1500x99999.jpg 2x\"\n        alt=\"\">\n    <\/a>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/corr-22.jpg\" class=\"swiper-slide\" data-caption=\"Exposition DONNANT DONNANT, Mus\u00e9e Romain de Nyon, 2015-2016\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1000\/corr-22-750x99999.jpg\"\n        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1000\/corr-22-750x99999.jpg 1x, https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1000\/corr-22-1500x99999.jpg 2x\"\n        alt=\"\">\n    <\/a>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/corr-9.jpg\" class=\"swiper-slide\" data-caption=\"Exposition DONNANT DONNANT, Mus\u00e9e Romain de Nyon, 2015-2016\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1006\/corr-9-750x99999.jpg\"\n        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1006\/corr-9-750x99999.jpg 1x, https:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/fly-images\/1006\/corr-9-1500x99999.jpg 2x\"\n        alt=\"\">\n    <\/a>\n      <\/div>\n\n  <!-- If we need navigation buttons -->\n  <div class=\"swiper-arrows\">\n    <div class=\"swiper-button-prev swiper-btn\">\n      <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"27.269\" height=\"15.972\" viewBox=\"0 0 27.269 15.972\">\n  <g id=\"noun-arrow-4804406\" transform=\"translate(27.269 15.972) rotate(180)\">\n    <path id=\"Trac\u00e9_31\" data-name=\"Trac\u00e9 31\"\n      d=\"M27.471,17.128,21.69,22.919A.913.913,0,1,1,20.4,21.628l5.518-5.518H1.909a.909.909,0,0,1,0-1.818H25.917L20.4,8.774A.913.913,0,0,1,21.69,7.483l5.782,5.791a2.727,2.727,0,0,1,0,3.854Z\"\n      transform=\"translate(-1 -7.216)\" fill=\"#000\" \/>\n  <\/g>\n<\/svg>    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"swiper-button-next  swiper-btn\">\n      <svg id=\"noun-arrow-4804406\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"27.269\" height=\"15.972\"\n  viewBox=\"0 0 27.269 15.972\">\n  <path id=\"Trac\u00e9_31\" data-name=\"Trac\u00e9 31\"\n    d=\"M27.471,17.128,21.69,22.919A.913.913,0,1,1,20.4,21.628l5.518-5.518H1.909a.909.909,0,0,1,0-1.818H25.917L20.4,8.774A.913.913,0,0,1,21.69,7.483l5.782,5.791a2.727,2.727,0,0,1,0,3.854Z\"\n    transform=\"translate(-1 -7.216)\" fill=\"#000\" \/>\n<\/svg>    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"block-buttons\">\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrn.ch\/archives-des-expositions\/\" class=\"btn\" >\n    SEE ALL PREVIOUS EXHIBITIONS  <\/a>\n  <\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":1178,"parent":0,"menu_order":31,"template":"","class_list":["post-2907","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
