Ann Isaacson wanted to share with you the timelines she created while developing the curriculum for guide programs. These help give an overview of events happening around the world during a particular timeframe (e.g. the year 1500) and can help you make these global connections between objects in the collection.
Aaron Rio, Assistant Curator of Japanese and Korean Art, asked that this beautiful video on making Buddhist statuary be shared with all of you. The video is about 5-6 minutes long.

Our friend Sandra Pietron has a neighbor who is a professor of medieval studies at the U of M. Sandra asked her for the literacy rates in Europe at that time, and here is her response:
“…I don’t have figures for literacy in Europe as a whole. I do know that the highest literacy rate is thought to have been in Iceland. This is usually explained in part by the easy access to writing material, i.e., parchment (from sheepskins). But it is easy to think of collateral explanations, too: the richness and importance to society of the saga tradition, the need to spend much time indoors during certain seasons, and the importance of written law to the civilization.
