Arts Center shows Sijilmasa Exhibit
The exhibit is an international journey of information and paintings from the ongoing excavations of the medieval city of Sijilmasa in southeastern Morocco. The medieval city was among the most important caravan points in the trans-Saharan trade between the Mediterranean World and the sources of gold in West Africa.
Sijilmasa’s history is of major global significance. It was a focal point where Africa, Europe and the Middle East met during the Middle Ages, the point through which African gold found its way to markets all over the world.
The Marly Berger Gallery is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The Arts Center is located on 1424 John Bragg Highway just west of the town of Woodbury. For more information please call 615-563-2787 or 1-800-235-9073.
