Pour an ancient Near Eastern-themed libation of your choice–beer was popular–and join this live virtual tour led by a museum educator. Learn how to enter the 3D museum, walk its immersive galleries, encounter pop-up extras on Queen Hetepheres’s throne and a newly conserved mummy coffin, and discover how to free all the embedded videos, documents, and special features that bring the ancient Near East alive. Ask the museum educator any technical questions during the virtual event and get a link to a recording of the event afterward. You will be equipped to return at leisure and virtually explore the museum with friends and family.  

This event uses Zoom, a video-conference tool that can be used for meetings and live chat. Sign up for the session of your choice. Registrants will receive a link and simple instructions on how to attend.
