Art of the Ancient Mediterranean World

Egypt Greece Rome

Organized and circulated by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

The 204 works from Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome displayed in this major new exhibition span a period from predynastic times in Egypt -- 6000 years ago-- to the Roman late imperial period about 350 A.D.

Art of the Ancient Mediterranean World: Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome was originally designed by the Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1995. It has since resided in Nagoya and last year was shown at the Museum of Art at Brigham Young University, Utah.

This exhibition was organized under the auspices of the Department of Ancient Egyptian, Nubian, and Near Eastern Art, and the Department of Classical Art (Greek and Roman) of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. These two curatorial departments are among the oldest departments of the museum. The richness of their collections is outstanding, even compared to similar collections at other museums in the United States and Europe.

This exhibition also has a large exhibition catalogue of 270 pages in Japanese and English, available at the AGNS Gallery Shop for $30.00 Canadian.

*Please note that this event is a NON-SCA event, and has no affiliation with any recognized group of the Society for Creative Anachronism
