Explore the wonders of Ancient Egypt on Sunday, October 18, when the Lowe Art Museum hosts “Mummies and Masks: Ancient Egyptian Family Day” from noon to 3 p.m. Families can learn about the history of Egyptian mummies with two special examples from the 7th-4th century BCE, on loan from the Bass Museum of Art. Participants can also create their own mummy mask for Halloween and participate in a costume parade through the museum. Treat bags will be given to every child.

The cost is $8 per child. Accompanying caregivers, Lowe Art Museum members, and UM faculty and staff with ID admitted free. Free parking will be available in the Pavia Garage. Reservations are recommended. To RSVP, email [email protected] or call 305-284-5587.
