The Curators of The Lab School Museum Present The History of Mesopotamia
This week, the curators of The Lab School Museum held an exhibit presenting their research on the first civilization of Mesopotamia, "the land between the two rivers". The curators studied all aspects of the ancient civilization, ranging from historical to cultural, as well as the role that museums play in the preservation, education, and exhibition of artifacts throughout the world. Combing through the history of Mesopotamia, the curators decided which artifacts to replicate to best express the stories from this ancient era. They then demonstrated their knowledge in the exhibition space by choosing which replicas to display, deciding which photographs of the artifacts to include, and including text and videos to further teach about this innovative civilization. Take a look!
