- Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time: Art, Culture, and Exchange across Medieval Saharan Africa
- Description
- Africa’s history truly is a world history. Gold from West Africa was the engine that drove the movement of things, people, and ideas across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East in an interconnected medieval world. As the incredible works in this exhibition show, it is not possible to understand the emergence of the early modern world without this West African story.
