New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, which displays nearly 2 million works from the prehistoric period to now, will start exhibiting artworks from Anatolia's rich heritage starting November 17.
The exhibition, titled “Beyond Babylon: Art and International Change in 2,000 B.C.,' is expected to draw a great deal of interest from visitors to the museum, who numbered 5.2 million last year. The exhibition will feature artifacts from powerful civilizations like the Hittites as well as examples of international relations and art in 2,000 B.C. It will also show that Turkey remains a bridge between the East and the West in both a geographic and cultural sense.
A total of 122 works of art from Ankara, Çorum, Kayseri, Istanbul, Konya and Bodrum museums will be sent to the exhibition, which will be open through March 15 of next year."
