Visit INHF's table as you attend the Des Moines Performing Art's Explorer Series, featuring Michael Yamashita. Be sure to come early to check-out our booth and learn more about our work!
National Geographic photographer and Sony Artisan, Yamashita shares how he followed in the footsteps of Marco Polo, considered the greatest Western explorer of all time. Relive his 13th Century odyssey along the Silk Road, from his native Italy through Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, all the way to China, and his epic voyage back across the South China Sea with stops in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and India. Marco Polo gave the west a vibrant window into Asian culture, art, religion and landscapes by accurately describing the people and places he encountered. 700 years later, we celebrate the man who inspired a bold new age of exploration and discovery.
