| Description: The goal of the seminar is to redesign the Ancient Gallery in the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum to present a more global selection of artifacts and themes of cross-cultural exchange. Students will engage in firsthand study of ancient artifacts from Greece, Rome, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and China. In the process, we consider the collecting and display of ancient objects from antiquity to the present and current and past controversies about excavation, plunder, and cultural patrimony. |
