It is inconceivable that some of this art was created thousands of years ago, given the intricacy and mesmerizing beauty of some of the pieces there. The exhibits that captured my imagination the most were those collections from the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman civilization.

Moreover, the material that I have acquired in this Humanities class, not only has broadened my knowledge and understanding of those civilization, but also has forged strong connection with them.

This picture represents one of my favorite times in history, the Roman Empire 527-565.
