Between 1000 A.D. and 1400A.D., Jerusalem became a place of wonderous diversity. Various faiths were found within the legendary city, and people came from as far as Iceland and India to visit the famous 'City on the Hill.' Hence, during those years the art from the period tells a fascinating story about not only the city but the many people who visited it and called it home.
The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art is hosting an exhibition honoring Jerusalem's art of the period, which is sponsored by The David Berg Foundation. Additional support for the show was made possible by the National Endowment of the Arts.Today, at 3 p.m., Sunday, October 23rd, the Met is hosting an event, "The Suspended Harp: Sounds of Faith in Medieval Jerusalem" at the Fuentiduena Chapel.

Admission for that event will be $40-$50 and the event will be held The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium.
