This family workshop is presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Etruscans: An Ancient Italian Civilization. Over 2,500 years ago, the Etruscans dominated the Italian peninsula and scholars have been studying the objects they left behind in an effort to help understand the ancient Etruscan world. They serve as time capsules, left unintentionally, for future generations to understand a vanished people.

Create your own time capsule illustrating you and your world. Using images and words from magazines and newspapers, build a collage that represents who you are and what's important to you. How will future generations interpret what you've left behind? How will you be understood 2,500 years from now?
