Conclusion and Bibliography
Through this exhibit, we can see that a variety of objects from the European home were rooted in the East. Some of these objects came as the result of direct trade, while others came through the natural flow of ideas between civilizations. These cross-cultural encounters are at the heart of the Middle Ages, and give insights into life during this era.
