The hopes and fears of people long dead played out in relation to their gods. For this Sunday Drop-In Tour, we will visit representations of seven of these gods and goddesses in the Kelsey Museum—including Isis, Aphrodite, Bacchus, and others—and see if we feel a connection.

This event is free and open to all visitors.
