The Tartar’s tiles: a history unearthed<\/p>\n
On Saturday, May 18, 2019, from 19:00, at the National Museum of the History of Transylvania will be inaugurated the exhibition “I Want To Belive” dedicated to the Tlaltet\u0103ria Tablets and other clay artifacts (amulets or pendants) with cultic role from the Neolithic era.
\nFor Museum Night, access will be extended until 23:45.<\/p>\n
The three Protagnonist tablets, discovered in 1961 in T\u0103rt\u0103ria, Alba County, by archaeologist Nicolae Vlassa’s team, are considered by many experts as illustrative of the ‘Danube writing’ system. The pieces – of various shapes and sizes – have given rise to much debate about their dating and significance: for some, they are samples of the world’s oldest attested writing (pre-Sumerian), for others they are simply Neolithic cult objects marked with typical signs and symbols.<\/p>\n
The exhibition, which will be open until 31 August, is part of the CAOLIN International Festival of Contemporary Ceramics, which will also feature a special workshop on the theme of the tiles.<\/p>\n
CAOLIN is also organizing in Cluj between 16 and 19 May the Contemporary Ceramics Fair at the Tailors’ Tower, the International Exhibition of Conceptual-Artistic Ceramics at the Casino Urban Culture Centre, creative workshops and seminars at the Espresso Studio art caf\u00e9, a screening of a BBC documentary at the Victoria Cinema.<\/p>\n
CAOLIN International Contemporary Ceramics Festival is organized under the High Patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maria of Romania.<\/p>\n
