I love the behind the scenes!

Mesopotamia is gonna be a great show. I’ve been hearing about it all year, and my looks in the space have been really enlightening. I think anyone who loves history, archaeology, and fun, is really going to fall for the space.

Shout out to my dude, Ryan Dodge, who took the above photos on a recent trip down to B2!

TWEETS FROM THE MEDIA PREVIEW!
