Brosseau Center for Learning: Silk Road to Kansas

Gallery 318, The Jack and Lavon Brosseau Center for Learning, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

Inspired by the Eurasian trade routes known as “The Silk Road” that flourished from the 2nd century BCE to the mid-15th century, the works in this exhibition highlight how artworks, design, trade goods, and people traveled both overland and by sea and resulted in new cultural forms and ideas.
