HYDE PARK — The Oriental Institute is hosting a gallery tour where it is totally OK if the baby starts crying.

The museum, 1155 E. 58th St., will hold a tour at 2 p.m. Tuesday about the many ways people have changed how they present themselves in public throughout history.

The 30-minute tour is designed for young parents who might otherwise be leery of bringing a stroller to a quiet museum.

It gives adults a chance explore exhibits without worrying if their child age 18 months or younger starts cooing or crying next to the mummies in the museum.

Tickets are $15 for up to two adults, with discounts available to museum members and students.

Strollers are welcome and babies get in free.
