Fascinated by the Orient: Aurel Stein (1862-1943)


"The Hungarian Orientalist, archaeologist and explorer Sir Marc Aurel Stein was interested in the meeting points of the great civilizations of the East and the West. His name and works have become inseparable from the history of the Silk Road, which was not merely an Eurasian trade route linking China with the Mediterranean, but a conduit of ideas, beliefs, styles of art and technologies."
