oldest
medieval city. The exhibition features approximately 290 objects, including 35 icons, that trace the material and artistic culture of Novgorod from the ninth century, through its golden age in the 14th century, to its eclipse by Moscow in the 16th century. The material culture of this remarkable city is represented by items such as carved wood and bone objects, leather goods, jewelry, musical instruments, and birch bark documents. Precious ecclesiastical objects--icons, metalwork, and textiles--from Novgorod's numerous churches highlight the cultural achievements of Novgorod's Golden Age. For the first time, these distinctive icons will be displayed together with the material culture of the city t hat produced them. By integrating the finds of ongoing archaeological excavations with the magnificent icons created by Novgorod's many churches, the installation brings visitors face to face with the material culture of Novgorod's citizens and saints to whom they looked for protec
tion.
