Bringing together a range of masterworks--from mosaic, sculpture, pottery, and metalwork to luxury objects, paintings, and religious manuscripts--this exhibition recounts Africa's central role in international networks of trade and cultural exchange. With artworks rarely or never before seen in public, Africa & Byzantium sheds new light on the staggering artistic achievements of medieval Africa. This long-overdue exhibition highlights how the continent contributed to the development of the premodern world and offers a more complete history of the vibrant multiethnic societies of north and east Africa that shaped the artistic, economic, and cultural life of Byzantium and beyond." -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 709.60902 Ac Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 709.60902 Ac Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 709.60902 Ac Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList
