About the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures
ISAC, which was previously the Oriental Institute, is a University of Chicago museum and research institute in the Hyde Park area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Egyptologist James Henry Breasted founded it in May 1919, using money donated by John D. Rockefeller Jr.
The institute occupies a Gothic Revival building where 58th Street meets University Avenue; the firm Mayers Murray & Phillip designed it. Builders finished in 1930, and it was dedicated in 1931. Sculptor Ulric Ellerhusen created East Meets West, the tympanum over the entrance, which sets figures from the East against figures from the West.
Its research covers ancient civilizations across the Near East, and it runs a facility called Chicago House in Luxor, Egypt. In the campus building it also shows a large collection of artifacts and archaeological finds. William Parkinson, an anthropologist at the Field Museum of Natural History, calls the collection among the finest anywhere.
About this model
The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures is one of more than 5,500 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Each model is written as code from public descriptions, plans, photographs and aerial views used only as references; no image or third-party model is copied into it. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. Rights in the building itself, its name and any brands on it are not granted by Mini Skyline; clear them separately before you sell prints. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
