Come behind the scenes to the Arched Room – an architectural highlight home to thousands of cuneiform tablets. Travel back in time to the ancient Middle East with Curator Irving Finkel.

This was originally broadcast on 31 March 2016 as a live Periscope stream as part of #MuseumWeek

This was the second of three Periscope tours that took place that evening.
