Haskell Museum
1894-1931
Caroline E. Haskell in 1894 presented to the University of Chicago the Haskell Oriental Museum. For 35 years it was a center for the study of the Near East and a sanctuary for its records. Out of it grew the Oriental Institute and this building which now shelters expanding researches of the University in ancient Oriental Civilizations.
