Description

“A is for Archaeologist. Archaeologists uncover clues to life in Ancient Rome, revealing buried treasures: frescos, rings, a vase, and a comb.”


Join us for a kid-friendly tour of the Roman exhibits, centering on the Kelsey Museum’s new gladiator Kelsey in Focus case! We will begin by reading aloud some highlights from G is for Gladiator, written by Debbie and Michael Shoulders and illustrated by Victor Juhasz. Then we will explore the galleries to find artifacts pictured in the book—including brightly colored frescoes, mosaics, jewelry, coins, and toys. This tour is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–8. All children must be accompanied by an adult.


This event is free and open to all visitors.
