Hurry – only 6 weeks left to see this magnificent exhibition! It is just a quick train trip away by Amtrak.
“Offering a glimpse into the complex and vivid world of the Byzantine Empire, this new exhibition presents large-scale contemporary photographs by well-known Turkish photographer Ahmet Ertug. The photographs highlight culturally significant UNESCO heritage sites in Turkey with a focus on the Karanlik, Tokali, and Merymana churches located in the dramatic Cappadocian region of central Anatolia. “
This exhibition was organized by the Kelsey Museum of Archeology at the University of Michigan, and received support from the Turkish Cultural Foundation.
