Associate Curator Isabel Stünkel and intern Sarah Nankivell discuss recent CT scans of objects in the Museum's collection, made possible by a collaboration between the Department of Egyptian Art and the NYU Langone Medical Center Department of Radiology.
We have no surviving histories or literature in Etruscan, and the only extant writing that can be considered a text, as opposed to an inscription, was painted in ink on linen, preserved through the fortuitous reuse of the linen as wrappings for an Egyptian mummy.
Teen Advisory Group Members Jimmy, Emily, and Audrey share a series of their photographs and explain their personal connections to objects in the galleries.
Associate Curator Isabel Stünkel details how analysis and modern medical technology can bring a person who lived more than 2,000 years ago closer to us.
Teen Advisory Group Member Jimmy writes about Madame X's unnatural pose in her portrait by John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) and presents his own artwork in which he depicts her as more relaxed.
