Monday, Feb. 17–Friday, Feb. 22 and Sunday, Feb. 24, 11:00 am–4:00 pmFebruary Vacation Week Activities at Harvard Semitic Museum
Free, fun, family activities allow visitors to explore arts from the ancient Near East. Activities change daily: make Egyptian accessories, inscribe clay tablets, or decode hieroglyphics.
Activities take place on the first floor of the Harvard Semitic Museum. This HMSC museum explores the rich history of cultures connected by the family of Semitic languages.
Exhibitions include a full-scale replica of an ancient Israelite home, life-sized casts of famous Mesopotamian monuments, authentic mummy coffins, and tablets containing the earliest forms of writing.
Also, stop by the Peabody Museum front desk for information on occasional self-guided drop-in activities taking place at the Peabody Museum during the week, too, including glyph-rubbing and hunting for animal designs hidden in the Arts of War exhibit.
