    Secrets of the Silk Road Special Program: Religions Along the Silk Road. The renowned "Silk Road"--subject of a major new exhibition from China opening at the Penn Museum in February 2011--is known for the travelers and trade goods that moved great distances between the east and the west. Aspects of culture were also transferred, including knowledge and practice of various religions. This program features four short lectures by Penn scholars, followed by an open discussion on the role of Islam, Buddhism, Christianity and Judaism and their impact along the Silk Road.
