Atlas Obscura Event at the Oriental Institute

Atlas Obscura invited us to shoot their Egypt Mania event at the Oriental Institute museum at University of Chicago. The theme of the evening was the prohibition era craze of all things egyptian, the era when the Oriental Institute was established. Many guests arrived in vintage attire and Alfonso Ponticelli and Swing Gitan provided live music. Raks Geek entertained with bellydance performances featuring Egyptian themes and some Indiana Jones and mummy elements. The event was held INSIDE the museum space and featured a talk by renowned Egyptologist, Emily Teeter. Atlas Obscura had a major hit with this event.
