Travel back in time to ancient Egypt and experience a day in the life of an ancient Egyptian family as the Museum’s Pinzone Pavilion is transformed with over 70 tons of sand. Exhibit components include the Scribe House, Nile River, Mud Brick Home, Pyramids, Egyptian Dress Up, Sand Sculpture and more! Learn how the Nile River was important to everyday life, enter the Scribe House to discover hieroglyphs, the ancient Egyptian form of communication, and explore the customs and traditions of ancient Egypt that still exist today.

While the main focus of Egyptian Sands is to provide young visitors with a unique, hands-on learning experience, the many “extras” help provide a dramatic, immersive environment in which important skills and concepts can be taught to children of all ages and abilities through creative play.
