This exhibition was organised in collaboration with New York’s American Museum of Natural History. It traces the long voyage from the Orient to the West between 600-1300 A.D., presenting the multitude of cultures that roused the Silk Road through the reconstruction of four representative cities: Chang’an (today known as Xi’an), the cosmopolitan capital of the Chinese Tang dynasty; Turfen, a city-oasis in the Gobi Desert; Samarkand, a large trading outpost and cultural centre; and Baghdad, the capital of the Islamic world and Caliphate. A special section created exclusively for the Italian exhibit takes an in-depth look at the relationship between several Italian cities and the Far East during the final centuries of the Middle Ages.
