“In the ancient city of Neba there stood a temple, and in the temple lived a cat. But the cat did not just live there. The cat was the lord of the temple.”

Join us for a kid-friendly tour of the Egyptian exhibits at the Kelsey Museum! We will begin by reading aloud Temple Cat by Andrew Clements. Then we will explore the galleries to find artifacts pictured in the book such as hieroglyphs, jewelry, clothes, and our cat mummy. During the tour, replica artifacts will be available for kids to touch and learn from. Take home a scavenger hunt of other animals in the Kelsey Museum! This tour is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–8. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
