The USC Pacific Asia Museum (USC PAM) in Pasadena opens a new interactive gallery, “Crossroads: Exploring the Silk Road,” on Friday, Oct. 22.
This newly renovated permanent gallery allows USC PAM visitors of all ages an opportunity to explore the historic Silk Road, presented as a journey through the city of Dunhuang, an ancient oasis that connected people and cultures along the southern Silk Road route.
The gallery engages an intergenerational audience through play and discovery, USC PAM said in a statement.
“The sights and sounds of the ancient city come to life through stories and music, dress-up, tactile objects, an interactive discovery map, and highlights from the museum’s collection,” the USC PAM statement said.
“With enhanced accessibility and innovative design features, ‘Crossroads’ aims to inspire curiosity, build empathy and catalyze connection by immersing visitors in the stories of intercultural exchange along the Silk Road.”
