A one-hour "Highlights of the Galleries" audio tour, in English and Spanish, is now available at the Kress and Trescher Entrances. The audio tour guides visitors through the Museum’s 16 long-term galleries highlighting 29 objects of special interest selected by Museum curators. Complete with an introduction by Williams Director Richard Hodges, the audio tour offers commentary on some of the Museum’s most remarkable objects, from the third largest sphinx in the world to the iconic, bull-headed lyre from Ur.

A podcast of the audio tour is also available for free download on iTunes.
