The The exhibits of the The Museum's permanent exhibit, Tells and Tombs, uses artifacts, models, excavation photographs, and drawings to help visitors think about how objects were made and used in ancient times and how surviving materials are recovered by archaeologists today. The exhibit displays artifacts in archaeological and historical context and provides an opportunity to explore changes in form and function over 4,000 years. A temporary exhibit, Words Made Visible, traces the origins of writing and the alphabet in the ancient Near East through inscribed artifacts and large scale replicas of inscriptions. Richly illustrated interpretive panels explain how cuneiform, hieroglyphs, and the alphabet work, and examine the uses of writing in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Canaan, Israel, Greece, Rome, and the early Islamic world.
