Storytelling: Tales Hidden within Artworks For approximately 30 minutes, from 2:00 p.m. every Sunday during exhibitions (schedule subject to change) in the South Wing Lecture Hall (reservations not required).
Our volunteer staff members narrate original stories based on legends and myths of artworks from our collection. Interwoven with sounds and images, the tales of Egypt, Greece, and China that we tell bring to life objects from antiquity. Have you ever wondered what kinds of stories are hidden within ancient art?
