Family Day is a biannual, family-friendly event featuring engaging, hands-on activities related to the cultures of the ancient Middle East, Greece, Egypt, and Rome! Each Family Day is centered around a theme and offers activities that are fun for all ages.
“Ancient Egypt” Family Day, March 2018
The Ancient Egypt Family Day on March 24, 2018, was our biggest event yet! Kids of all ages came to the museum to mummify Barbies, tour Egyptian tombs with virtual-reality glasses, create Egyptian crowns, and (of course!) see the amazing Egyptian artifacts on display in the galleries.
