Inspired by our Fall 2026 special exhibitions, Excavating Antioch: The Archaeology of an Ancient City and Shi: Stories in Stone, the Davis invites family members of all ages to explore our galleries with a special focus on the ancient Roman city of Antioch (today’s city of Antakya, Türkiye). Student-led tours, storytelling, games, and  crafts will bring the art to life. Refreshments will be served. 

This program is generously supported by the Palley Endowment Fund for Davis Museum Outreach Programs.
