Influences of the Silk Road
November 5, 2009 – April 25, 2010
What do jade, chess, horses and Hinduism have in common? They were all exchanged on the Silk Road, of course! From the first millennium BCE through the second millennium CE, the Silk Road was a series of routes that crossed through Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. In this alluring exhibition, visitors of all ages can explore objects from the Museum’s permanent collection that either traveled on the Silk Road or reflect the religions, technologies, and goods that were exchanged en route. Families and students will enjoy a treasure hunt through the exhibition and other galleries, get educational insight through an easy-to-use audio tour, and even test their skills in a game of chess. Prepare for your visit by taking a virtual tour of the exhibition at www.umfa.utah.edu/silkroad. |
