CMC Met Museum Discussion

Visit the digital Safavid and Mughal collections at the Met Museum by using the links below. After reading the short essays on each page about these empires’ interactions with Europe between 1600 and 1800, click on two items from each collection to learn more about these items. Then share your reflections on the discussion board:

1.What have you learned from your virtual visit to the Met Museum about the Safavid and Mughal art as well as their interactions with Europeans during this time period?

2. Which items were you most interested in and why?

3.What would you have liked to know more about? (, minimum 500 words)

Finally, provide a comment on two of your classmates’ post with at least two sentences other than “I like it, I don’t like it, good job, I agree” etc.
