Secrets of the Silk Road - More Online Lectures...

In honor of their Silk Road exhibition, The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has created a 9 part lecture series dedicated to the Silk Road.  Once a month from October through June 2011, a different Silk Road scholar shares their view of the famous trade route.
