Inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888
This family workshop is presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Etruscans: An Ancient Italian Civilization. The workshop will take place on August 14, August 28, and September 11 at 1pm.
Over 2,500 years ago, the Etruscans dominated the Italian peninsula. Yet much of this ancient culture was lost when it was absorbed into the expanding Roman Empire. Scholars have been unfolding the mystery of the Etruscans for hundreds of years by studying the objects they left behind. Their possessions help reconstruct the ancient Etruscan world. They serve as time capsules, left unintentionally, for future generations to understand a vanished people.
Create your own time capsule illustrating you and your world. Using images and words from magazines and newspapers, build a collage that represents who you are and what’s important to you. How will future generations interpret what you’ve left behind? How will you be understood 2,500 years from now?
