DENVER -- Traveling the Silk Road, the new exhibition about the ancient pathway to the modern world, opened at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science on Friday, November 21, 2014.
"When you come up into the exhibition you will be transported back in time to the 8th century," said Museum educator Jennifer Moss Logan, "And you will have an opportunity to journey along the main ancient trade routes of the Silk Road from China through the Middle East into the Roman Empire."
The exhibit follows the Silk Road's golden age, from AD 600 to 1200, when it connected humanity with everything from material goods to scientific knowledge and channeled technological advances, folklore, art and religious beliefs across 5,700 miles east to west through five cities that were flourishing at the the time.
Exhibition curator and chair of the DMNS Archaeology Department Stephen Nash said, "The multimedia Traveling the Silk Road exhibition allows Denver Museum of Nature and Science guests to enjoy the splendor, glory and intrigue of The Silk Road in comfort, style and safety."
The exhibit runs from November 21, 2014 to May 3, 2015 at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
