Another opportunity to have art history class memories return. I worked as a volunteer docent at U of Chicago's Oriental Institute. What incredible fun.

Good stuff. And the music was as far advanced from Gangsta Rap as their art was ahead of the ...er...stuff currently infesting modern galleries. Go figure.

Thanks. Amazing what they could do back then. What does the Chicago oriental museum have?

I’m no student of these ages (though I did study ancient Egypt for a number of years) but...ancient music? Determined how? Notation? Certainly not recordings.

You spent your docent time wisely! I love the art collection presentation and the music chosen within the context of a history summary. Thank you for doing this and keep ‘em coming!

Enjoyed the video, you do an awesome job. It’s like going to the museum from the comfort of my home.
