It may seem obvious that ancient cultures living along the Mediterranean, would rely heavily on the sea, not only as a means of travel but as a plentiful food source. The fishing industry was especially valuable in trade for other commodities such as grains and olive oil.

The importance of fish to the ancient world is found in many subtle (and small) ways across many of the Mediterranean cultures represented at the Kelsey. Join us to learn about the fishing industry, as we view some "fishy" decorations.

Masks are optional inside the Kelsey. For more information about our COVID procedures and how to prepare for your visit, please visit our website, https://myumi.ch/9PG1P.
