BOSTON, MA (June 23, 2014)—A world-class collection of jewels from ancient Nubia at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), will go on view this summer in Gold and the Gods: Jewels of Ancient Nubia. The MFA’s collection of Nubian adornments is the most comprehensive outside Khartoum—the result of an early 20th-century expedition by the Museum with Harvard University. The exhibition opens on July 19, and includes works by Nubian goldsmiths and jewelers, who were among the most innovative in the ancient world. Featuring some 100 excavated ornaments dating from 1700 BC to AD 300, which will be on view in the Rita J. and Stanley H. Kaplan Family Foundation Gallery, the exhibition explores the royal tombs of kings and queens, which were filled with elaborate jewelry such as necklaces, amulets, stacked bracelets and earrings. The MFA is unique in its ability to mount an exhibition of Nubian jewelry and adornment drawn exclusively from its own collection. In addition to gold––Nubia’s most important commodity––jewelry in the exhibition incorporates precious materials such as lapis lazuli (imported from Afghanistan), blue chalcedony (imported from Turkey), amethystine quartz and carnelian, as well as enamel and glass––both of which were rare and valuable new technologies at the time. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated MFA Publication on Nubian jewelry.

Museum exhibits matter. From teaching us about ancient civilizations, to famous and not so famous battles, our museum exhibits are a way of learning history in an engaging way. That is why when it comes to economical issues, not so fun a topic to dive into for most, we need to open fun, engaging exhibits. That is why having something of historical significance that can be explained in a fascinating way is so important to do. That is why I chose the Gold and Silver Trade as a topic to present.

Luxury in the middle ages was a time of flaunting success and self-worth. Many kings and important warriors demanded to have the finest foods, items, and homes. The idea of luxury was also brought into the Catholic churches. Some people felt the luxury made the church more appealing; however, many failed to realize the consequences of falling into a life of luxury while trying to become a well rounded Christian. The idea of having the finest items often took control over the lives of the everyday person and this often led to the neglect of their christian values. The drive of needing to have the finest items often led people to sins such as selfishness, gluttony and lust. The most common sin that luxury led the people to was the sin of pride. The uprise of these sins in the middle ages was the outcome of constantly struggling to keep up with the luxurious lifestyle everyone so badly longed for.
