MYSTERIOUS EGYPT – a tour of Egyptian artifacts for families with children and creative workshops. Looking for a great Sunday activity for your kids? As part of the Europe-wide European Archaeology Days event, the Slovak National Museum – Archaeological Museum cordially invites you to a very interesting afternoon titled “Mysterious Egypt.”
During a special children’s tour of the museum, young explorers will learn which objects in our collections are connected to the famous Tutankhamun, the mysterious pyramids, or mummies.
Together, we will uncover the mysterious messages hidden in the ancient hieroglyphic script on precious artifacts. We will also examine the unique amulets that the ancient Egyptians wore during their lifetimes, and especially those they placed in the shrouds of their deceased.
At the end of the tour, creative workshops await the children. There, they will craft two magical amulets—the protective Eye of Horus and the sacred scarab—which they can, of course, take home as souvenirs. Everyone is warmly welcome!
