Almost Live episode #194
Join us for an engaging online described tour featuring highlights from The Met’s stunning exhibition, Making Marvels: Science and Splendour at the Courts of Europe.
Designed with accessibility in mind, this immersive virtual experience offers vivid visual descriptions of rare and opulent objects collected by European royalty between 1550 and 1750—an era when extravagance, innovation, and spectacle were all part of the performance of power.
From intricately crafted clocks and musical instruments to dazzling automata, furniture, jewelry, and more, Making Marvels reveals how rulers of the past used art and technology to impress, astonish, and legitimize their authority—much like today’s tech titans. Our special guest (TBA) will offer historical insights and fresh perspectives that deepen our connection to these wonders of the early modern world.
Whether you’re passionate about history, art, or the evolution of innovation, this tour invites you to experience The Met’s collection in a rich and meaningful way.
