Tunisian Mosaics Exhibit At The Brooklyn Museum

My friend Don Jim linked, via Cranky Professor, to an interesting figurative art exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, NY. The exhibit titled "Tree of Paradise: Jewish Mosaics from the Roman Empire" features a number of mosaics that happen to be found in Hammam Lif, Tunisia.

Tarek at Reflections on Islamic Art and Architecure has also a piece up on the same subject with some historical notes on the art of mosaics in Tunisia.

I am looking forward to visiting this exhibit next weekend during my stay in New York.
