Picturing the Past: The New Exhibit at the Oriental Institute Museum

The Oriental Institute Museum's newest exhibit, Picturing the Past: Imaging and Imagining the Ancient Middle East, takes a look at how artists and photographers have envisioned a fragmentary past, and how the resulting images have influenced our interpretation of ancient history and culture. Enjoy this preview of what the exhibit has to offer.

The exhibit runs between February 7 and September 2, 2012. For more information, visit OI.uchicago.edu/museum.
