Oriental Institute at U of C

Jo had a deposition at the University of Chicago Hospital Wednesday so we drove down to Hyde Park together. While Jo was working, I walked over to the Oriental Institute on the UofC campus:

"The Oriental Institute Museum is a world-renowned showcase for the history, art, and archaeology of the ancient Near East. The museum displays objects recovered by Oriental Institute excavations in permanent galleries devoted to ancient Egypt, Nubia, Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia, and the ancient site of Megiddo, as well as rotating special exhibits."
