The Getty Villa’s “Nubia: Jewels of Ancient Sudan”
October 12, 2022–April 3, 2023 / Los Angeles, California
For nearly 3,000 years a series of kingdoms flourished in ancient Nubia (present-day southern Egypt and northern Sudan). The region was rich in sought-after resources such as gold and ivory and its trade networks reached Egypt, Greece, Rome, and central Africa. This exhibition presents highlights from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s extensive collection of Nubian objects and features superbly crafted jewelry, metalwork, and sculpture exhibiting the wealth and splendor of Nubian society.
The Nubian Foundation served as consultants for Opening Night, College Night, and Public Programs.
