The exhibit, entitled "Late Roman and Early Byzantine Treasures from the British Museum," was a smash hit with our members and we received a private, guided tour by the curator herself, Dr. Christina Nielsen. Also on hand to guide our group and answer any questions was Dr. Susan Solway, chair of the History of Art and Architecture department at DePaul. It was truly amazing!
If your interested in seeing the show, you better hurry; it closes August 25, 2013! Take a glance at a few of the photos taken by our president, Paulina Kijek, and yours truly (James Langston) to get a feel for the exhibit's wealth.
