The Oriental Institute Museum
TECHNICAL INFORMATION: How We Created The Virtual Museum
PLEASE NOTE: The Virtual Museum offers a tour through the Oriental Institute Museum galleries as they appeared prior to being closed for a major renovation and expansion project in 1996. The New Egyptian Gallery, the New Persian Gallery, and the New Mesopotamian Gallery have been completely redesigned and are now open to the public. The remaining two galleries will open over the next several years. Contact the Museum for more precise information.
