Making its North American premiere at Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Marco Polo opening weekend was one full of
amazing Kung Fu and Lion Dance
performances, breathtaking falconry demonstrations, and abundant yummy bites
inspired by Marco Polo's travels to India and Italy.
Curated from museums and private collections across Italy, Marco Polo:
Man & Myth features more than 80 objects, including coins, ceramics,
artwork, maps, and more. Bring the whole family to The Fernbank Museum and embark in an incredible 24-year journey
from Venice to China along the Silk Road.
Marco Polo is forever
recognized as the ultimate travel adventurer and his account remains
one of the greatest travelogues ever written. This major exhibition
includes rare and extraordinary objects from private collections and
museums in Italy to reveal the cultural practices, artistic
traditions, unique landscapes, and unusual animals he encountered.
Visitors can also explore the Mongol and Chinese culture as they follow Marco Polo’s journey. Historic silks, porcelain, a merchant seal, models of Chinese “junk” ships, and other artifacts show the incredible export industry Marco observed there.
The exhibition
features several additional activities, including an interactive cart
staffed by Fernbank’s youth volunteers on weekends, a
family-friendly gallery guide, and “Where’s Marco?” maps
offering more information on his journey.
