About
Some of the RISD Museum's objects experience quite an adventure before arriving in the galleries. Join Kathryn Howley (Brown University PhD '15 Egyptology) as she uncovers the varied, interesting and sometimes scandalous life stories of ancient objects. What happens after their original use ends? Where do they reside and what do they do before being displayed in a museum case?
