The exhibition retraces the long journey between east and west from the 7th to the 14th centuries AD, with reconstructions of four iconic cities: Chang'an, the capital of the Chinese Tang Dynasty; Turfan, an oasis city in the Gobi Desert; Samarkand, a major centre of and culture; and Baghdad, capital of the Muslim world . An Italian section explores the relationship between certain Italian cities, particularly Venice and Genoa, and the Far East.
