The theme of this tour is “Tiny Objects, Big Stories.” Oftentimes, it’s the smallest artifacts that can tell us the most about the people of the ancient world. In this tour, we’ll focus on some of the smaller objects in the Kelsey Museum—oil lamps, Cippus of Horus, tiny figurines—and learn what they reveal about the ancient world.

This event is free and open to all visitors. 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.
