A Century of Discovery: An Exploration of the Oriental Institute Museum (Virtual Tour)

The Oriental Institute (OI) of the University of Chicago is a pioneering, interdisciplinary research center housing a world-renowned museum. In this virtual presentation, we will look at the OI's past 100 years of excavation and archaeological projects carried out across the Middle East, followed by an overview of the collections, galleries, and highlight objects on display in the OI Museum—a talk rich with stories of exploration, archival photos, and ancient objects.
