Hidden Stories: Global History, Local Networks
Celebrating the exhibition Hidden Stories: Books Along the Silk Roads
Join the Aga Khan Museum for a virtual symposium celebrating the exhibition Hidden Stories: Books Along the Silk Roads, featuring books, scrolls, manuscript paintings, textiles, and objects spanning a 1,000-year history. The exhibition and symposium are global — examining a vast network of trade routes spanning Asia, Europe, and Africa — and local, bringing together historical artifacts from collections across Ontario, Canada.
