Cricket Bat Making at John Wisdens Centre takes us back to 1750, showcasing the craftsmanship that birthed a timeless sport. Byzantine Art in Syria transports us to the Basilica of St. Simeon, an architectural marvel dating back to 476-491 AD. Marvel at its intricate details and immerse yourself in this ancient sanctuary. Greek art reveals itself through various forms, such as the Tomb Siren from Greek Asia Minor (c. 550 B. C. ), carved meticulously out of marble, or the Tomb Lion from Corinth (600-550 B. C. ), a limestone sculpture depicting strength and grace. Traveling further west, we encounter Spain's Cuenca Cathedral with its awe-inspiring Altarpiece featuring the Virgin of the Milk—a masterpiece crafted during the fifteenth century that exudes divine beauty. In Turkey's Aksaray Province stands Sultanhan caravanserai—an architectural gem built centuries ago—offering shelter and respite for weary travelers along ancient trade routes. Witness Greece's artistic prowess through a reconstructed Lion sculpture from a tomb (c. 570 B. C. ) or admire Grave relief for a soldier (c. 330 B. C. ) in Athens—a poignant tribute capturing emotions frozen in time. Delve into Macedonia's rich heritage with A gift for the god of healing—an exquisite piece reflecting devotion towards Asklepios, while Offering to Artemis Bendis (329-328 B. C. ) found in Piraeus showcases religious rituals intertwined with artistry. Lastly, Paul Gauguin's Coast at Dieppe painting (1885) invites us into more recent history—depicting serene coastal beauty through his unique artistic lens.
