Horn Museum Featured in the New York Times
The New York Times has an article which features the Horn Museum along other museums. The article highlights the fact that the Jordanian Department of Antiquities has loaned a small collection of Tall Jalul figurine fragments excavated from 1992-2012 to be exhibited in our collection this year. Check out the story here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/26/arts/artsspecial/biblical-era-collections-suffer-in-a-new-world-of-archaeology.html?_r=2
