Perhaps intricate knotwork designs, legendary warriors, or mystical spirituality? Maybe even a certain NBA team? _Celtic Art Across the Ages_ will introduce visitors to the worlds of the various peoples who were historically labeled “Celts—through the objects they created, the interactions they had across the European continent, and the myths that shaped their legacy, then as now. The exhibition stretches from 800 BCE through today, showcasing the craftsmanship, innovation, cultural connections, and multilayered reception that characterized Celtic art in Europe and beyond.
