The works of art presented in this Bulletin were chosen from the Museum's collections to parallel or complement those shown in the exhibition Art Treasures of Turkey. The material is grouped in two sections: the first is devoted to objects made by people who lived in what we call Turkey, though they may have known it as Lydia or Byzantium or the Ottoman Empire. The second section is devoted to Western works that depict the Turks or imitate their art.
