Last May, Bowling Green State University announced that it had reached an agreement to return 12 pieces of ancient mosaics in the University’s art collection, on display in The Wolfe Center for the Arts, to the Republic of Turkey.
They will be formally returned to a Turkish delegation next week, removed, and packed for shipping.
The University invites the community to view the collection before its return.
The mosaics are on display outside the Eva Marie Saint Theatre at the BGSU Wolfe Center for the Arts. They may be viewed from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on:
- Thursday, Nov. 15
- Friday, Nov. 16
- Monday, Nov. 19
Editor’s note: At the time of the announcement of the return, the Turkish government said it would provide replicas to replace the originals. (See related story.)
