Join us for a kid-friendly tour of the Egyptian exhibits at the Kelsey Museum! We will begin by reading aloud In Egyptian Times by Kate Davies and Alfredo Belli—a book that follows a day in the life of a group of children in ancient Egypt. After the story, we’ll explore the galleries to find artifacts pictured in the book, including a miniature boat, a desk and pens, sandals, painted hieroglyphs, real ancient food, and Egyptian jewelry. This program is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–8. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
