This tour is sold out. Visit our current special exhibition, “Back to School in Babylonia,” at ISAC (formerly Oriental Institute) and explore a 3,700-year-old school excavated in Iraq. The exhibition covers teaching materials and related objects found in the school building and sheds new light on one of the oldest curricula in the world. Topics of education for ancient scribes include mathematics, literature, religion, law, and rhetoric. Associate Professor of Assyriology and Tablet Collection Curator at ISAC, Susanne Paulus leads the tour.
