This special guided tour of the Chau Chak Wing Museum’s collection with Director of Exhibitions and Collections, Dr Paul Donnelly, highlights ancient artefacts from the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Middle East. Spanning from the pre-Neolithic to the late medieval period, these artefacts speak to the surprising extent and depth of connectivity in the ancient world. The circulation of goods, resources, and people enabled the sharing of technologies, script, and ideas so essential to the development of complex society.
