Ancient Middle Eastern Art at The Met – and The MAAC

Pottery - Apulian Portrait of Lekythos - at Palmyra Heritage at The Manhattan Art and Antiques Center

Visit The Met until June 23rd to see: “The World Between Empires: Art and Identity in the Ancient Middle East“.

“For over three centuries, the territories and trading networks of the Middle East were contested between the Roman and Parthian Empires (ca. 100 B.C.–A.D. 250), yet across the region life was not defined by these two superpowers alone. Local cultural and religious traditions flourished, and sculptures, wall paintings, jewelry, and other objects reveal how ancient identities were expressed through art. Featuring 190 works from museums in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, this exhibition follows a journey along the great incense and silk routes that connected cities in southwestern Arabia, Nabataea, Judaea, Syria, and Mesopotamia, making the region a center of global trade.”
