Virtual Sensory Journey through Art

Join us and Caroline Rocheleau, director of research and curator of ancient collections, for a virtual journey inspired by Coffin of Amunred. 

During this hour-long program, participants are prompted to use the kit items to activate the senses of touch, taste, smell, and sound. Paired with audio description, this immersive sensory experience fosters a deep, personal connection to the featured artworks. 

Participants are mailed a small sensory kit free of charge; limited to one kit per household. 

Registration closes Friday, November 28.
