Join fellow College alumni for this fascinating exploration of the Holy City, Jerusalem, and its role in shaping the art of the period from 1000-1400 in a faculty-led tour of this new exhibit. Avinoam Shalem, the Riggio Professor of the History of the Arts of Islam, will guide alumni through this unique exhibit, displaying over 200 works of arts, with a nearly a quarter of the objects from Jerusalem itself. Jerusalem 1000–1400: Every People Under Heaven will bear witness to the crucial role that the city has played in shaping world culture, a lesson vital to our common history.
