She Who Wrote: Enheduanna and Women of Mesopotamia, ca. 3400–2000 B.C.
Description
October 14, 2022 through February 19, 2023.
Enheduanna is the first writer identified by name in human history. She Who Wrote: Enheduanna and Women of Mesopotamia, ca. 3400-2000 B.C is the first exhibition to focus on the lives of women in the 3rd millennium B.C. Students will explore primary sources and artifacts representing women working in the economic, religious, and political spheres of city states and the world’s earliest empire. Enheduanna’s autobiographical writing reaches across millennia with a relatable voice speaking to issues of faith, power, and personal identity. In addition to the special exhibit, students will also visit the permanent Mesopotamian collection in the historic McKim Library.
Offered At
The Morgan Library & Museum
The Morgan Library & Museum's school programs are anchored in teaching philosophies that define education as a way of building children's confidence as self-reliant seekers of knowledge and independent-minded creative thinkers.
In a classroom setting, the K–12 curriculum in the sciences and humanities is rarely studied through direct observation of primary sources, such as Mesopotamian seals and tablets, medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, rare printed books, master drawings, and period architecture.
Please note that for in-person field trips, we limit groups to 15 for a more interactive and intimate experience. We can accommodate no more than 4 groups, or 60 students, at one time in our historic library.
