Here's a peek at what we've been doing behind the scenes at the museum.

The museum will be closed on Monday due the Holiday - Our winter hours will resume on Tuesday.

Our "Museum Chat" about a Roman lead curse tablet in the museum collection was featured on WBAL-TV (Baltimore's NBC station). While we were excited to have the museum featured on the 5'o'clock news on October 31st, 2011, there were quite a few inaccuracies in their reporting. Point out three incorrect statements in the report (by reading more information the tablet at our website http://archaeologicalmuseum.jhu.edu/the-collection/object-stories/a-roman-lead-curse-tablet/)
and win a prize. Our contest ends at 11:59pm on December 31st.

Today was the last day of our Fall Semester schedule. Starting tomorrow we will only be open 11-1:00 Monday-Thursday. Our hours will be extended again after the Winter Break.

25 budding archaeologists visited us from Monocacy Valley Montessori School last November. During their tour of the museum they learned about ancient Egyptian, Roman, and Etruscan archaeology as well as artifact conservation. Here are a few photos from their visit.
