Spring Family Day | Magical Marvels: Power and Protection in the Ancient World

Saturday, March 23, 2024
12:00-3:00 PM
Kelsey Museum of Archaeology Map
Join us for our spring Family Day as we explore “magical” materials in the ancient world, from amulets and herbs to curse tablets and incantation bowls!

Design and carve an amulet “gemstone.”

Discover how curse tablets were constructed and used—and make your own!

Create and fill your very own lucky Roman “bulla” pouch.

The Kelsey Museum and the Family Day event are free and open to the public. Engaging, hands-on activities take place in Newberry Hall. Docent guides, scavenger hunts, and Imagination Stations are available in the museum galleries from 12 to 3 PM.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
