Holy Land Experience is a religious theme park in Orlando, Florida. The city is home to some of the main theme parks in the United States, however, Holy Land Experience is not a typical one, and in official flyers it claims not to be a theme park at all, its role being, instead, educational. Holy Land Experience is a plaster replica of Jerusalem from the times of Christ, spread on 15 acres of land. At the same time, it is an interesting example of promoting spirituality using tools attributed to entertainment. Inside the theme park Christianity is shown offering a direct, emotional experience using imitations of Biblical places and events. Indeed, according to the visitors, the overwhelming artificiality of the place does not thwart religious feeling. At Holy Land Experience spiritual experience is merged with entertainment and a sense of America’s uniqueness.

Kazimierz-Kelles Krauz, a late-19th century Polish sociologist, used Marxism as the basis for his concept of radically democratic art, according to which anyone who creates for the sake of pleasure and emotion is an artist. His idea of art is not for or against the elites, or for its own sake, but “without ideals,” it is art inspired by society in order to transcend it. As such, this art is socially useless and potentially subversive, yet as a sphere of freedom it helps maintain social order. Kelles-Krauz’s reflections remain particularly relevant today, as we observe art being used to both emphasize and undermine clashing social values.
