What was it like to go to school in Babylonia more than 3,500 years ago? Who went to school? How did they learn to read and write cuneiform? These and other questions concerning the topics and aims of ancient education will be addressed in this presentation and illustrated with examples currently on display at the ISAC Museum as part of the exhibition. The curator will also discuss the educational experience of curating an exhibition at UChicago with a team of students and allow glimpses behind the scenes.
