Have you ever wondered how ancient artifacts were made? A question often asked in the galleries is how the artifacts were created—their shapes, their colors, their designs. In this tour, we will learn about a number of Kelsey artifacts through the processes used to create them. As we travel through the museum, we will see fine Greek pottery, learn how (and why) a number of the Egyptian artifacts in the galleries are blue, and consider why maybe the Michigan Department of Transportation should evaluate Roman construction materials for our roads! Join us to uncover the innovative processes of the past.
