Exhibit Opens

Historians talk about the “decline and fall” of the Roman Empire. But during the chaotic period between 400 and 500 CE, the line between Roman and barbarian were often blurred. Learn more about this interesting period of history in the exhibit Digging Barbarians, located in the Museum’s Gallery of European Cultures. The exhibit focuses on life in early medieval France with highlighted artifacts from the Museum’s extensive collection from this period.

This exhibit is a collaboration among scholars from the University of Illinois, Eastern Illinois University, and the Spurlock Museum, in conjunction with the Conference on Shifting Frontiers in Late Antiquity.
