The Onassis Cultural Center in New York is presenting a new exhibition called “From the Land of the Labyrinth: Minoan Crete, 3000-1100 B.C.” The exhibit displays more than 280 artifacts from Crete.
Most people are unfamiliar with the Minoan civilization. Archaeology magazine has a good review of the exhibit at the Onassis Cultural Center in New York. The review also provide a photo gallery showing 10 items from the exhibit. The photos are gorgeous and they reveal a small aspect of Minoan life and culture. You may not be interested in Minoan culture but you will enjoy the photos.
The photo above, one from taken from the photo collection included in the review, shows a clay tablet inscribed with six lines of Linear A writing from Zakros, end of Late Minoan IB (ca. 1450 B.C.). The photo is a courtesy of the Onassis Public Benefit Foundation.
