Thu, Jul 16, 5 pm | Join us via Zoom!
Destroyed by natural catastrophes in the 8th century AD, Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus were once mighty centers of trade, where Egyptian and Greek cultures merged in art, worship, and everyday life. Today, maritime archaeologist Franck Goddio, Founder and President of European Institute for Underwater Archaeology (IEASM), has given new life to these sunken cities in the exhibition Treasures of Ancient Egypt: Sunken Cities. An exhibition opening lecture with Goddio will be offered to the public on July 9. On July 16, in a presentation exclusively for VMFA Members, Goddio will take a "deeper dive" into a selection of his favorite objects from the exhibition and will talk in detail about their discovery, importance, and how they fit into the exhibition as seen at VMFA. A question and answer session will follow the talk. 

All VMFA Members are invited to join us for this program. Please register early as participation is limited. If you have questions, please contact the Donor Relations team at rsvp@vmfa.museum.
