Near East
The highlight of the Near East galleries is also one of the most important artifacts in history - The Law Code of Hammurabi. The first set of codified laws, this is one of the pillars of history. The depressing part was that the Mona Lisa had people 10 deep looking at her, while Dad and I had this gallery completely alone.
