We're getting excited about the opening of our next exhibition, "Ancient Nubia: Excavating Treasures of the Nile, from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston," this Saturday (10/17).

Be among the first to view this exhibition at the NCMA on Thursday night (10/15) during our October After Hours celebration. We'll have live music, live screen-printing, arts and crafts activities, food and beverages available for purchase, and the best part - a guided tour of this amazing exhibition! After Hours runs from 7 pm-10 pm, and entry is FREE. Learn more about Ancient Nubia: Excavating Treasures of the Nile, from @mfaboston at the link in our bio. ---------- Pictured: Hathor-headed crystal pendant, Nubian, Napatan Period, reign of Piankhy (Piye), 743–712 BCE, gold and rock crystal, 2 1/16 x 1 1/4 inches, Harvard University—Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition, 21.321.
