Approximately half of the Kelsey Museum's collections come from archaeological excavations around the Mediterranean and Middle East. Learn more about the early excavations at Karanis, Egypt; Soknopaiou Nesos, Egypt; Seleucia on the Tigris, Iraq; Carthage, Tunisia; and Sepphoris, Israel.

Plus, visit the special exhibition "Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile" to learn more about the University of Michigan field project in Sudan!

Saturday Sampler tours are free and open to all visitors. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour, please call the Kelsey at 734-764-9304 at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.
