Byzantine and Armenian Exhibitions at the Met: Challenges and Rewards [NOW ON ZOOM]

Notice: this event is now being held via Zoom. Registration has closed. A recording of the seminar will be posted here at a later date.

Domed churches, intricate sculpted images, elaborately illuminated manuscripts, gilded reliquaries, richly decorated textiles - Armenian art is the multifaceted visual voice of the Armenian people. It defines how Armenians view themselves as well as the important role Armenians played, and still play in the larger world over the centuries. Once studied primarily as a national tradition, this talk shows that Armenian art is also evidence of Armenia's importance to the world and its art.
