This Saturday Sampler Tour will take a close look at a selection of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman ceramics and decorations found in the Kelsey Museum’s collection—allowing us to see how such objects served utilitarian and aesthetic purposes in the ancient world. Learn how past societies used clay to shape all manner of everyday and artistic objects, ranging from small drinking cups to grand vessels covered with detailed painted scenes. Moving from three dimensions to two, this tour will also delve into the art of Roman mural painting by exploring the four Pompeian styles of wall decoration.
