Art and Archaeology of Ancient Syria: Ebla to Damacus

On view are some 280 examples of statuary, pottery, mosaics, jewelry, ivory carvings, wall paintings, and other artifacts, illustrating the cultural history of Syria from 8000 B.C. to the flourishing of medieval Islamic civilization. Included are objects from the Royal Archives of Ebla, as well as treasures from the National Museums of Syria, making this the first major display of archaeological material from that country to appear in the U.S.

Organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, the exhibition ends its tour at MNH.
