The Metropolitan Museum of Art's on-line exploration of Byzantium was created in conjunction with the international loan exhibition The Glory of Byzantium (March 11 - July 6, 1997), which celebrated the art of the second golden age of Byzantine art (843­1261). This on-line exploration moves beyond the time frame of the exhibition and includes examples of art from the first golden age of Byzantine art (324­730) and the late period, which ended with the Turkish conquest in 1453. This on-line exploration can be accessed in a number of ways: Explore Byzantine works of art Investigate a theme in Byzantine art Probe the history of Byzantium View the works of art in a visual timeline Check a definition in the glossary We have also developed a special resource area for teachers Please send your thoughts and suggestions concerning this site to education@metmuseum.org.
