#RoadsofArabia
Over the last 40 years, archaeologists in Saudi Arabia have unearthed astonishing artifacts from the Arabian peninsula, radically changing our understanding of the region's ancient past. The Asian Art Museum's new exhibition
Roads of Arabia features some of these remarkable discoveries, like giant human statues, stone tools, Greco-Roman bronzes, gold jewelry and pages from early Qur'ans. More than 200 artworks--many of which were recently excavated--reveal a lively commercial and cultural exchange among civilizations from antiquity through the early centuries of Islam. See what you'll dig up in
Roads of Arabia. The Asian Art Museum is the final venue for this exhibition. Share your finds on social with #RoadsofArabia.
