The Silk Road

Join us for this virtual journey along the ancient trade routes that transmitted goods, technologies, and ideas across the Asian continent, from the Mediterranean to the Pacific. What did this trade look like? Who was involved? How did trade occur? Where did the routes take merchants, soldiers, and pilgrims? By examining objects in the museum collection, we will gain a better understanding and appreciation of the innovation, technologies, and physical objects battled for and bartered over thousands of years ago along the Silk Road.

This one hour lecture by one of our museum docents is followed by a half-hour Q&A.
