The Silk Road: An exhibit of artifacts that moved across empires

Thursday, March 13, 2025 from 9:00am to 8:00pm

The college’s Historic Costume and Textiles Collection presents a public exhibit of textile artifacts that gave the Silk Road its name.
 
With support from Ohio State’s East Asian Studies Center, the display features Items that weave together the brilliant colors and feather-light textures of silks from China, India, the Islamic world and Europe.
 
They tell the story of their travels across historic empires and time and include luxurious gowns, religious banners, brocades, saris and more.
 
Curators:
Amanda Respess, assistant professor of pre-modern world history at Ohio State Marion
Gayle Strege, curator of the college’s Historic Costume and Textiles Collection  
 
The exhibit is scheduled to coincide with the Asian Studies National Conference on Mar. 12-16 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. A version of the exhibit was displayed at Ohio State Marion in January through March of last year, so if you missed it then, now is an ideal opportunity.
