Stories in stone
"This catalogue is issued in conjunction with an exhibition at the Getty Villa from October 26, 2006, to April 30, 2007 - the first major exhibition in the United States devoted solely to ancient mosaics. It showcases twenty-six masterpieces from Tunisia's national museums, including the Bardo Museum in Tunis, the Carthage Museum, the Sousse Museum, the Sfax Museum, and the El Jem Museum. Structured around four principal themes - Nature, Theater and Spectacle, Myths and Gods, and Technique - the exhibition includes extensive material on the conservation of ancient mosaic art."--Jacket.
