"The 17th Century: Gateway to the Modern World Exhibition" Special Exhibiton at Jamestown Settlement

An exhibition organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in cooperation with the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation explores developments that set in motion the transition from "old" world of the Mediterranian -- the center of European commerce and diplomacy since ancient times -- to a new globally connected world. Sixty-five artifacts from European, Asian, African and American cultures will be exhibited.
