The legendary Trans-Siberian is undoubtedly the greatest railway in the 

 world. Join a team of American Museum lecturers this September for an 

 extraordinary 5,300-mile journey from Beijing to Moscow aboard the 

 celebrated Orient Express. Tracing the ancient route of the tea caravans, 

 we will travel through the vast, remote Gobi, the Mongolian steppe, the 

 expansive and pristine Siberian taiga and along magnificent Lake 

 Baikal. We will also explore numerous Siberian cities, frontier towns 

 and traditional Mongolian ger encampments, as well as the great cities 

 of Beijing and Moscow.

 world.
