The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has started hiring guides to give tours in galleries that have collections from their home countries.
“These guides are expressly trained to weave their own personal stories and memories into their tours — things they would feel comfortable talking about over and over again.”
At the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Moumena Saradar directs a group of visitors to a glass case containing an enormous gold headdress and beaded shirt - the burial garments of Queen Puabi, who died around 2550 BCE. They're a highlight of the museum's Middle East gallery, reopened in April after a $5 million renovation.
