What's New This Spring . . .

Wow! This is a busy Spring Semester for me! I am taking classes in Exhibition Design, Volunteer Management, and Art Education, working with multiple exhibitions around the city, and helping out at Gateway High School, Central YMCA, and the Crucible in my spare time. Good luck catching up with me!

Agatha Christie's Egypt Extended

Our Fall exhibit has been extended due to popular demand. Agatha Christie's Egypt: Life Along the Nile in the 1930s will continue running from February 9 through March 6. The exhibit features the Sutro Collection's real mummies. Field trip classes learn about the process of mummification as they pull the guts out of our interactive "dummy mummy" and place them in simulated canopic jars. Cool!

Caravan Across Persia Exhibit

The new Spring exhibit opens April 1 and runs through May 8. 'Caravan Across Persia: an Arcaeological Tour of Iran' features pieces from the California Academy of Sciences. The hands-on activity for field trips is a Silk Road Trading Game where students pretend to be traveling merchants. Our opening reception will be Wednesday April 8 from 5-7pm.
