Discovering Ancient Nubia
Why does ancient Nubia remain a mystery to most Americans? Learn about this ancient kingdom as we explore Nubia's artists and their subjects, and learn to appreciate the breadth and technical mastery of Nubian art. This course is inspired by "Ancient Nubia Now," on view from October 13, 2019, through January 20, 2020.
Take the full five-week course or choose the lectures that interest you most.
