    The ancient Silk Road extended from China to the Mediterranean. Silk was brought across Central Asia to the bazaars of Baghdad and Damascus and thus the Silk Route became a line of communication and exchange between the cultures of Persia, China, Central Asia, India and parts of the Arab world. This exhibit features selections from the extensive collection of Dr. Lloyd Miller and Katherine St. John of Eastern Arts in Salt Lake City. It includes musical instruments indigenous to this region of the world along with textiles and other traditional arts items. One will notice the use of geometric and floral patterns in the carving, embroideries and inlays which hold special significance in the various cultures and have become identified with Asian arts. For one week, the exhibit will feature textiles from Bukhara Crafts Development Centre, Bukhara Uzbekistan. There will be a public discussion/demonstration about this exhibit Saturday, August 30 at 2:00pm.
