Join us for a dynamic symposium that explores how the global movement of objects--luxury goods, traded commodities and diplomatic gifts--created an increasingly interconnected world from the 1500s to the 1800s. How did these works shape people's ideas about the wider world? What can these works continue to tell us about early global networks? Nine international speakers focus on different cross-cultural connections in this daylong program highlighting works of art from PEM's collection.
