PHOENIX FLIES 2023 | Sunday FUNday: Boats: Look, Build, Float!

Investigate two model boats in the special exhibition Life and the Afterlife: Ancient Egyptian Art from the Senusret Collection
About this Event

During the First Intermediate Period and Middle Kingdom of ancient Egypt, a collection of wooden models showing scenes of daily life were found in many burial chambers. Model boats made of wood were one of the items that were often found. Investigate two model boats in the special exhibition Life and the Afterlife: Ancient Egyptian Art from the Senusret Collection, then experiment with different materials to design and make your own model boat. Sunday FUNdays at the Carlos Museum are made possible through the generous financial support of the David R. and Margaret C. Clare Foundation and The Point.
