Gallery Sunday: The Radiant Capital of Islamic Spain, November 17

The Canton of Appleholm invites you to join us on another informal weekend outing to one of our many world-class museums.

On Sunday, November 17, at 2:00 we’ll gather at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World to view their exhibit “Madinat al-Zahra: The Radiant Capital of Islamic Spain” which includes art and artifacts from Cordoba in the tenth and eleventh centuries.

This is a small gallery and our visit is only expected to last around an hour or so. Afterwards, some folks may choose to go to lunch at a nearby diner.

The ISAW gallery is located at 14 E 84th St, between Madison and Fifth. The closest subway station is the 4 train at 86th and Lex, or you can take the M1, M2, M3, M4, or M86 bus.

Admission is free. The site is wheelchair-accessible and ADA-compliant.

If you have trouble difficulty finding our group at the museum, you can call Mathghamhain at 917-502-7795 for assistance.

All are welcome to join us. No Society membership or previous experience required. No fee. Modern attire; come as you are.

Feel free to RSVP to events@appleholm.eastkingdom.org or just show up and join us. We look forward to seeing you soon!
