In honor of the Temple and the Tomb exhibition featuring Etruscan treasures from Tuscany, SMU’s Meadows Museum is hosting Family Day this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Etruscan culture existed in Italy circa 800 B.C., but this event is geared toward bringing that culture to life through traditional Italian dances, music, and folklore. There will also be hands-on activities for the kids where they can scratch Etruscan designs on vases and make Etruscan bracelets and head ornaments out of gold foil and metallic-colored cardboard. There is also the exhibition itself, displaying Etruscan art unearthed at an archaeological excavation in Poggio Colla, Italy. Normally, the exhibition costs $8 per adult, but during the hours of Family Day, it’s free.
