SAFE Tour at the Ancient Near Eastern Galleries, Metropolitan Museum of Art
Friday October 26, 2007 from 5:30pm - 6:30pm
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
1000 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York 10028 Get Directions
SAFE Tours provide an insider's look at museum collection and focus on artworks and artifacts that have dubious provenance or are presumed to be illicit. Also highlighted are objects that have been excavated properly. The information we are able to gather from these artifacts is contrasted with the lack of information from items without provenance, or history of origin.

Dr. Oscar White Muscarella, a specialist in the art and archaeology of the ancient Near East has been on staff of the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1964. He is also the author of "The Lie Became Great: The Forgery of Near Eastern Cultures." He will lead a group through the Ancient Near Eastern Galleries and discuss how the objects got there.
