Ancient Egyptian Timeline Workshop

How old is ancient?

The ancient Egyptians lived deep in the past, but that past spanned nearly 6,000 years! Come join us at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum where we work together to build a large-scale interactive timeline of ancient Egypt. We will explore how some of our artifacts, pivotal world moments, monumental structures, and charismatic pharaohs fit into the not-so-distant past of Egyptian history.

Admission is free with paid entry to the museum.

Mummification Apprenticeship

Saturday, January 17, at 1:30 p.m.

The ancient Egyptians believed that the preservation of the human body was critical to safe passage into the afterlife. Beginning with simple burials in the desert sands, the Egyptians created new methods of mummification that prevented the decay of the body for thousands of years. Exquisitely preserved, these ancient Egyptians provide deep insight into the beliefs and lives of Ancient Egyptians while simultaneously challenging us to explore even deeper questions.

The Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum is the current home and resting place of the human remains of four mummified ancient Egyptians. Come learn their stories and much more.

Admission is free with paid entry to the museum.

The Color of Nature & The Nature of Color

Sunday, January 18, at 1:30 p.m.

In this workshop, we'll explore the science behind color perception and how the evolution of language has broadened our color spectrum. Participants will engage in activities to learn how our eyes and brain interpret colors, and how training can enhance our ability to discern more hues. We will then walk Rosicrucian Park in its full bloom to see how we can "see" more colors with patience and mindfulness. Discover the blend of biology, history, and training that can expand how you see the world!

Admission is free with paid entry to the museum.
