Kelsey Book Club

The Kelsey Book Club is designed to inspire conversation and community among individuals who share a passion for reading, mythology, and archaeology. This monthly group is open to all adults with an interest in Greek mythology and the ancient world. Whether you are a Kelsey docent, a museum member, a U-M student or staff member, or a member of the community, we welcome you to join us for lively discussions and shared explorations.
