Tying the Mystic Knot: A Celebration of the Celts

Utah State University’s Museum of Anthropology hosts a Celtic cultural day at its next Saturdays at the Museum activity.

“Tying the Mystic Knot: A Celebration of the Celts” is the theme Saturday, Aug. 6, at the museum. The day includes a presentation on Celtic history, culture and spirituality. The presentation begins at 1 p.m.

Children and families are encouraged to learn how to draw the famous mystic knots, learn their meanings and enjoy traditional Celtic music.

“Celtic culture is a unique phenomenon that continues to fascinate us here in the United States,” said USU museum intern Rachael Steineckert. “The more we are able to learn about it, the more we can understand its influence.”

Museum patrons should note that the construction projects on Champ Drive are now complete and the parking lot south of Old Main should be accessed via 400 North (U.S. Highway 89). Free parking is available in the lot for Saturday events.

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.

Funding for the Saturday events is provided by a grant from the United States Institute of Museum and Library Services. More information about the IMLS is available online.

The USU Museum of Anthropology is on the USU campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building.
