Upcoming Exhibitions

Skin, Script, Spirit: Ethiopia will be the first research installation at The Icon Museum and Study Center, highlighting three intriguing objects that are recent gifts and acquisitions.

The lands of Ethiopia have an ancient and storied history that can be traced back as far as 3000 BCE. Christianity found an early home in Ethiopia, officially adopted under King Ezana in the second half of the 4th century, making it one of the world’s oldest Christian cultures. This rich heritage is reflected in the fascinating and unique icons and liturgical objects produced in the region.
