Included Experiences
Mosaic Workshop
In this workshop, we will reveal stunning examples of mosaic art from the classical period of ancient Israel and focus on the artistic motifs and inscriptions found in churches and synagogues. You will create a small mosaic to take home with you! You can use one of our templates or create your own custom design.
Coin Workshop
Around 2,500 years ago, the first coins were struck. Today, archaeologists find coins with a variety of symbols—written names and words, figures, and geometric symbols. Coins provide important dating evidence for sites. In this workshop, we will make examples of coins discovered in excavations throughout Israel.
Perfume Workshop
The history of fragrances is ancient, and archaeological finds related to fragrances have been discovered in many countries. Fragrances were used to produce pleasant scents for cultic activities, cosmetics, burial rituals, and more. In this workshop, we will prepare herb and spice samples in small perfume bottles to create a personal fragrance to take home.
