Welcome to HMSC Connects! where we go behind the scenes of four Harvard museums to explore the connections between us, our big, beautiful world, and even what lies beyond. For this week's episode, host Jennifer Berglund is speaking with Adam Aja, the Chief Curator at the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East or HMANE. On March 15, 2024, HMANE will release a new augmented reality experience for its From Stone to Silicone exhibition. It will transport visitors from modern Cambridge to the ancient past to pay tribute to an Assyrian king at the Palace of Nineveh. It's called The Art of Intimidation: A Journey to Ancient Assyria. Adam and Jennifer discuss the app, its creation, and the adventure HMANE has planned for visitors.
