University of Chicago (Oriental Institute Museum)

The University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute Museum will use its grant to purchase and install new storage cabinets in which to properly rehouse the museum’s collection of archaeological objects. These objects include Nubian organic materials of leather, wood, and textiles; ceramic vessels from Serra (Nubia); remains from the sites of Megiddo, Alishar, and Nippur; and large stone sculptural fragments from Khorsabad.
