Art of Intimidation: Journey to Ancient Assyria is the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East augmented-reality Snapchat lens that brings to life the large casts of sculpted panels from the famed royal palaces of ancient Nineveh and Nimrud (in what is now Iraq). Visitors may use Snapchat on their own devices or borrow a free tablet at the museum to experience it. Watch the panels come alive as they depict scenes that are variously celebratory, imposing, and violent—designed to demonstrate the kings’ power and to impress. The experience colorizes and animates the panels, accompanied with sounds, period music, and commentary by Dan-Assur, the palace overseer.
