As November draws to a close, our thoughts turn to Thanksgiving and the accompanying food and drink. Like us today, the people of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome thought a lot about food and drink too! Come join us on this drop-in tour as we learn about the food and drink of the ancient world, including the vessels used to serve and transport these essential goods (spoiler alert: no plastic Tupperware is involved). We will finish our exploration in the dining room of a Pompeiian Villa—and you may even find inspiration for a new recipe to serve at your Thanksgiving dinner!
