Sneak peak of the new exhibits

The Johns Hopkins Archaeological Museum updates are almost complete, and we will reopen to visitors in September.

We look forward to welcoming classes to our revamped space, which will have almost 800 ancient objects on view, including a new display for an ancient Roman surgical kit. If you would like to learn how the collection can serve as a teaching tool for you, use our class request form.

Three stepped horizontal layers have multiple rows of stands for displaying shabti figurines. A smiling woman who is a museum employee peers over the empty shabti mounts. The background consists of glass walls and a modern museum setting.
