Ancient Wonders of the World

Learn about the archaeological wonders of China, Egypt, Rome and the Americas at the next Saturdays at the Museum event provided by Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology.

“Ancient Wonders of the World” is the theme for Saturday, July 2, during the museum’s regular Saturday hours, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Activities include educational displays on the countrys’ archaeological wonders, and visitors can experience the food, arts and crafts of the four regions of the ancient world. A short documentary will run throughout the day.

“There is so much mystery and excitement surrounding the archaeology and culture of these four regions of the ancient world,” said Melissa Allen, a Saturdays series program coordinator. “We are pleased to offer the community a fun and educational way to experience these wonders.”

Community members, as well as Utah State students, can visit the museum during its operating hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
