"Complex and varied, vibrant and intense, medieval objects demand to be examined closely,
to be thought about deeply, to be approached kinesthetically. Extraordinary in the
multiplicity of meanings that it harbors and engenders, the material culture of the
Middle Ages offers its beholders a rich experience of looking, often multisensory,
always rewarding. It offers, too, a glimpse of an equally rich society, or rather
the many societies that were in constant flux and in intermittent conversations (and,
at times, screaming matches) with one another. And yet, each object has its own history.
So how do we write history through objects?"
