The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City (only the collections that pertain to this weeks material)

The following Web pages list the various galleries and collections. Of particular interest to this weeks Mesopotamian material is the slide tour of the royal cemetery at Ur. Please also note this location for the “Ram in a Thicket” from the Royals Tombs of Ur.

Please keep in mind that a museum is, originally, a place of learning, accommodating not only artifacts and manuscripts, but also facilitating lectures and performances. The original museum, that at Alexandria, Egypt, in antiquity, set the direction for what a museum should be.

Grading:

The Museum Tour Response must meet the 300-word minimum. A deduction of 10 points per 50 words short will be applied.
A minimum of two artifacts must be addressed in the response (including a hyperlink to each artifact). An automatic 10-point deduction will be applied if only one artifact is addressed, and a 25-point deduction will be applied if no particular artifacts are addressed in the response. “Exhibits” do not count as individual artifacts.
The response is to be written in complete sentences, including proper grammar and spelling. Excessive writing errors will result in a deduction.
