Journey on the Silk Road

Find out why the Silk Road was such an important route for so many people from different cultures and countries across the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe. See our wonderful Camel Caravan Tapestry and hear a tale about the discovery of silk. Handle objects from the collection and smell spices associated with this ancient trade route; then trade your wares in our pop-up market.
