In the past few weeks, we’ve highlighted a Genghis Khan exhibit in Denver and a Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit in Washington, D.C. Here’s another great one to check out!
“Traveling the Silk Road: Ancient Pathway to the Modern World“ is now on display at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City. It is an interactive journey along the legendary trading route, passing through ancient cities of the Middle East and Asia. Based on the time period 600 and 1200 A.D., the exhibit provides opportunities to see live silk worms spin cocoons, join a raucous night market, and learn about ancient crafts such as papermaking and glassblowing. Sunday afternoons include live performances.
The exhibit runs from now through August 15, 2010.
If you can’t make it to the exhibit, take a virtual tour here:
