'Anthropeum' is a game where you click on a map to guess where and when historical artifacts housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art were made.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has released a game called ' Anthropeum ' where players try to guess when and where historical artifacts in its collection were made.

Go to Anthropeum and click 'PLAY TODAY'S GAME'.

After answering 10 questions in this manner, the results were displayed as follows. Each artifact is scored out of 10,000 points, based on its proximity to the relevant era and location. Those confident in their knowledge of world history and the cultures of various countries should definitely give it a try.
